      Your Journey into Sound

      AXA35 is the ideal amp to begin listening to music and really appreciating it – hearing detail in familiar tunes you’ve previously missed. That’s down to the toroidal transformer it uses, a tech found higher up our range. Choose a pair of speakers to suit your taste, perhaps they’ve been in the family for years or maybe something from our SX Series.

      Release the Wheels of Steel

      The built-in phono stage is the ace up AXA35’s sleeve. It means that you can plug a turntable straight in without any extra kit. Moving magnet (MM) compatibility means AXA35 works with a wide variety of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve had your eye on. Soon you’ll be playing the records you’ve been saving for, and planning what to buy next.

      With separate bass and treble controls, you can fine-tune AXA35’s sound to suit your taste, speakers and room dynamics. The volume level is shown on the LED dot matrix display, and with 35 watts per channel you’ll have plenty of kick for smaller to medium sized rooms.

      Wired for Sound

      AXA35 is a well-connected amp, with no less than 4 pairs of RCA inputs, plus a pair of phono sockets for a turntable and a pair of recording outputs. There’s a rear USB socket for technical upgrades. Hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors), compatible for banana plugs, mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound.

      Designed for Life

      As with the rest of AX Series, AXA35 shares our house-style of Lunar Grey minimalist fascia, black steel cabinet and ‘floating’ base. This timeless look enables an upgrade path through our range. A slim build, in the classic 430mm hi-fi width, also means that AXA35 can easily slot, and breathe new life, into a much-loved system.

      I cannot recommend Cambridge Audio

      I received this integrated amplifier on Monday, February 12, 2024. When I arrived home, I proceeded to un-box and set up this unit. The following text is what I sent back to Cambridge Audio thre same day requesting an RMA to return this amplifier.
      “Monday, February 12, 2024
      My review:
      Since 1975 I have been listening to music through a Kenwood KA 5700 Integrated amplifier (40 watts per channel) pushing two, sometimes four, Advent bookshelf speakers; using a Denon turntable, Sony CD deck, and now the Internet through my PC. Based upon my experiences, as a professional musician for over fifty years, I have thoroughly enjoyed the tone quality and depth of sound that my system has provided. Several weeks ago, I started to notice that the quality of sound was starting to diminish. I checked the Advent speakers in case the woofer cone surrounds were cracked or damaged. They were not. I then started to check the KA 5700 and believe that it is failing.
      So, I decided to do some research on the Internet regarding integrated amplifiers in the range of $500.00. The Cambridge Audio AXA35 came up on several sites as the best buy for the money regarding quality of sound. So, I purchased one from the Cambridge Audio site. It arrived several days later.
      I proceeded to unbox and set up the AX, connecting it to the Advent speakers. Turned on the power, let it warm up, then played some music, I was not impressed! I downloaded the user manual to glean how to adjust the bass, treble, and balance. I made some adjustments. Still not impressed with the sound quality. No depth of sound – bass is lacking, and treble is tinny. I tried pushing the Advents. I maxed out the volume on the AX to 100%. The Advent speakers were laughing (these speakers are 45 years old). On my Kenwood, I can only push the volume to 50-60%, unless I have both sets of Advents connected. The AX doesn’t have the fortitude (sorry, no balls) that I was expecting.
      Compared to an amplifier manufactured 45 years ago the AX, for me, does not make the grade. Needless to say, I am depressed! I want to return this product, with a full refund.

      So, I filled in a request form to return the unit. The automated response stated that I would receive a reply within 48 hours. Nope! Didn’t happen. Five days later I am still waiting for a reply.
      I cannot recommend this integrated amplifier, and based upon the lack of customer service from my request to return this unit, I cannot recommend purchasing anything from Cambridge Audio.

      Looks good sounds good!

      Bought this to replace an old Arcam 6 that gave up the ghost. Tge AXA looks great but more importantly sounds great. I"m no techie when it comes to audio equipment but I know what I like to hear and this delivers through the SX 50 speakers I have.

      The right decision !

      I bought the AXA35 2 weeks ago and it was the right decision. I use it with mit Pro-Ject Debut Pro S and speakers from Triangle (BR008). The sound is very clear and warm.I use before a Marantz AV-Receiver, but it sounds with the AXA35 much better.
