A&R Cambridge A60 Integrated Amplifier - Teak

It ls a fact of life that you get what you pay for. And as far as audio goes, that means an economically priced amplifier usually has corners cut somewhere along the line.
But not the A60.
Because the A60 stereo amplifier gives you everything you expect to find in units costing much more: high sound quality, ease of operation, modern styling and extreme reliability.
That's not Just our opinion. It ls the opinion of reviewers, who for two years have acclaimed the A60 and its features. And it is the opinion of the public, who have loved this amplifier since its introduction. Along the way we have continually added certain refinements, giving even greater individuality to the A60.
Read on. And see if you are not also convinced that the A60 stereo amplifier truly ls everything you have heard it to be.
Totally in a class of its own.
The A60 is designed throughout for the highest possible sound quality. A toroidal mains transformer ensures low internally generated hum levels, and the pre-amplifier is also designed with low noise levels in mind.
All the inputs to the A60 amplifier have high overload margins so that almost any input source can be accepted without distortion. There is no excessive 'thump' in the loudspeakers at switch-on or switch-off independent of the volume control setting. The A60 is fitted with a high frequency filter (switchable) which reduces the unpleasant scratches on old records and stereo FM noise on tuners. The bass control is designed so that deficiencies of small loudspeakers may be corrected without coloration of the middle band of frequencies.
Input sockets on the A60 amplifier all have silver plated contacts for minimum noise. The loudspeakers are connected via heavy duty screw terminals which can accept either bare wires or 4 mm banana plugs.
The A60 will accept any magnetic or moving coil cartridge and cartridge loading modules can be supplied to provide optimum loading for most cartridges. In certain cases where the cartridge output is very low, the HA10 moving coil cartridge pre-amplifier can be used which will boost the cartridge output to the required level, and this can be powered directly from the A60, eliminating the need for any additional mains or battery supplies.
Tape recording outputs are provided from both the AUX and TAPE sockets, matching inputs of both domestic cassette recorders and professional reel-to-reel equipment. The tape button allows A/B monitoring of signals when using a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads, while preset replay level controls are provided so that the A and B levels can be equalized.
Although the loudspeaker sockets are wired directly to the amplifier outputs to obtain the best possible sound quality, 'switched' outputs are provided enabling the loudspeakers to be cut out when headphones are plugged in.
Reliability is one feature which has contributed greatly to the A60's success. Electronic protection in the power output stages safeguards against any incorrect loads or short circuits. This short-term protection is backed up by output fuses should the fault persist. A single fibreglass printed circuit board is used for internal stability and ease of servicing. All components in the A60 are operated well within their ratings, and each amplifier is exhaustively tested at all stages in its production, the test engineer finally recording each individual amplifier's major specified parameters.
The A60 stereo amplifier is finished in a matt black fascia, with matching control knobs. The sleeve is available in a choice of teak, rosewood, walnut or matt black finishes, and blends unobtrusively into any room setting.
