Certain parts of the world become famous or specialized in producing items. Examples are easy to see: Silicon Valley is one of the centers of technology or Switzerland for fine watches.

Britain is home to many of the best audio companies in the world. Cambridge Audio is a name at the very top of the list.

The origin story is familiar: a couple of entrepreneurs had an idea to make a better product. And then another, and another.

Even with a high standard that Cambridge Audio has set for itself by virtue of its myriad achievements, their EVO line of streaming amplifiers and CD player are a standout in performance and value.

Cambridge Audio complements their integrated amplifiers with a proprietary control application, StreamMagic. It is one of the very best manufacturer interfaces – if not the best - we have seen in the industry. Whether you source your music from a streaming service, digital files, internet radio you control all if this through an interface that is more than easy to use, it is a joy.

The EVO 75 and 150 streaming integrated amplifiers have a compact, clean, and modern look that invites you to use them. The EVO CD player matches the integrated amplifiers ascetically, provides remarkable sound, and is controlled by the StreamMagic or the front panel of the integrated amplifier.

For those throwbacks who love vinyl the Cambridge ALVA ST meets the high bar set by the other Cambridge Audio products. The ALVA ST has a built-in phono stage so it can be paired with the EVO 75 or use the built-in phono stage in the EVO 150.
