[QUOTE="zeabre, post: 32169, member: 596"] Hi there Had the same opportunity as you, having the Cambridge Audio 640R. While the amp is a decent enough unit, it was not up to scratch for stereo listening. I hooked up a (modified) Valve Audio Exclame to the front pre-outs, now driving the Quads. This delivered a much improved sound...with one or two points to note: 1. Hooking up the additional amplifier allows you to run your CD player/TT directly to the amplifier, completely bypassing the rest of the AV system. 2. Careful matching must be done afterwards for AV to present a credible soundstage and integration. 3. Not all amplifiers have this input. Some use the tape/loop in/out with mixed results. Either way, for some, like myself, this is a nice way of integrating an AV and stereo system... [/QUOTE]
