Timing matters a bit here because this is an older, pre-640A V2-generation integrated, but £100 still lands in the sweet spot: right on the £103 median and comfortably inside the normal used band of about £88 to £117. That makes it a fair buy rather than a bargain-bin snap-up, but it is priced sensibly for a known, reputable amp.
What keeps it interesting is the core Cambridge appeal: clean, lively sound, good drive for modest speakers, and enough refinement to make a simple vinyl or CD system feel sorted. The main upside is value if it’s genuinely tidy and complete, especially with the remote and no scratchy controls or relay issues. At this price, it’s the kind of used amp that rewards a quick check of functionality and condition, then happily gets on with the music.

Cambridge Audio emerged from the innovative spirit of 1960s Britain, founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by a group of young engineers who spun off from Cambridge Consulting Group. Established in 1968, the brand launched with the groundbreaking P40 integrated amplifier—the first to employ a toroidal transformer, setting a new standard for dynamic power delivery in hi-fi design that endures in high-end gear today. This heritage of British engineering excellence propelled decades of award-winning products, navigating ownership changes including a revival under entrepreneur Vince Adams and acquisition in 1994 by Julian Richer and James Johnson-Flint of Richer Sounds.
The brand excels across core hi-fi categories, renowned for integrated amplifiers like the iconic A1 and P-series, alongside streaming DACs, network players, turntables, and all-in-one systems that prioritize pure analogue warmth and digital precision. Speakers, headphones, and cables round out a cohesive ecosystem, emphasizing accessible high performance without excess frills.
Positioned firmly in the mid-tier market, Cambridge Audio delivers premium British sound—detailed, rhythmic, and uncolored—at prices that democratize quality for discerning buyers. Free from corporate bloat, it holds a reputation for reliability and value, appealing to enthusiasts seeking sophisticated hi-fi that punches above its weight rather than chasing ultra-high-end esoterica.
