Our Most Detailed Integrated Amplifier
Edge A is made to celebrate musicality. Riffs, phrases, percussive rolls – take in every detail of your music thanks to its dynamic setup. Effortlessly powerful, but with incredible depth, the overall sound is breath-taking – like you’re sat in the recording booth with the musicians.
-
"At this price, we can’t think of a more complete alternative than the Edge A. Cambridge has done a terrific job."
-
“a sonic powerhouse”
-
"the amplifier just does everything you ask of it with finesse, a huge soundstage, and surprising amount of warmth.”
-
"If you were to build out the perfect hi-fi system for your dream house, this amplifier would probably be at its heart"
Breathtaking Musicality
Edge A is designed to bring musical detail to life. It delivers a finely balanced sound with a depth and clarity that come through with every note. We developed the system by ear, testing every component and only choosing those that blew us away. The end result is a ground-breaking arrangement that produces a much cleaner signal path and lets your music breathe. Edge A perfectly delivers our classic British sound – nothing added, nothing taken away.
More Musical Detail
We pioneered the use of toroidal transformers in amplifiers, which led to improved performance. In Edge we take this one step further, using opposing symmetry twin toroidal transformers. This cancels out electromagnetic interference whilst offering outstanding power and maintaining consistent tonality, no matter how loud it’s played.
Effortless Power Without Distortion
Using standard Class A amplifier technology wasn’t going to be efficient enough for Edge A. Instead we added a bias voltage to a traditional Class AB design, reducing distortion to inaudible levels. This unique configuration also produces less heat and makes the whole system much more effective.
Hi-Res Bluetooth
Pair any Bluetooth device to your Edge A to easily stream your music. With aptX HD support, you can play your audio at up to 24-bit/48kHz quality for an incredibly rich listening experience.
Sonic Balance
Edge A was designed with a unique PCB. Our engineers replaced conventional capacitors with a DC coupled topology and also added a solid-state volume control. The end result is a clean signal path that’s perfectly balanced at any volume.
Perfect Partners
Edge systems are designed to work in perfect synchronisation. Match the performance of Edge A with loudspeakers to make the foundations of a hi-fi system unlike anything else.

Outstanding! I Love this amp.
Finally an amp that just sounds right
I have owned Naim, Devialet, and Bryston integrated amps and none of these come close to the sound of the Edge. The others were either bloated or thin. Cambridge got it right, Pair with the brilliant ALVA turntable and you are in sonic heaven.
Expensive!
It is a well-made Integrated Amp, but is over=priced because of "Europe's Fair Labor Wages." It is designed and engineered in England, but it is assembled in China.
For $5,000.00, I'd spend a bit more and buy a McIntosh Integrated Amp with its built-in DAC and Auto Transformers.Just Amazing!
What the reviews say are all true of this Amplifier. It just lets the music breathe and wash over you with all the emotion and energy intact and full of detail. The sound on the USB input with Hi Res files and streaming hifi quality is amazing. Worth every penny.

I picked the Edge over several competitors based on multiple auditions at my local A/V dealer along with several glowing reviews. The fit and finish are excellent and the product is very sleek and modern looking. It weighs over 50 pounds which tells me that there is plenty of substance under the hood. Most importantly, The Edge A just sounds right. Not too bright, not too warm, just a balanced, silky presentation that is nothing short of addictive. It drives large, full-range speakers with authority and is totally composed at both low and high volumes. In my room with my tower speakers, the Edge A effortlessly produces a deep, 3D soundstage. The only thing that I wish the amp had is some type of display to clearly show what input and volume level you are using. I know this would alter the minimalist look, but it would aid in usability. Of course, you can get more drive, more bass and and even bigger soundstage in higher-end separates, just be prepared to spend three to four times more money. The Edge A is that good.
