It also had balanced XLR outputs (which I\u2019ve never used). I fell in love with Cambridge Audio players during a 1-month trip to Leeds, UK. Once back, I searched for a used one and I found it in the aforementioned shop for \u20ac600 (\u20ac200 plus my old Pioneer \u2013 a good treat for the trick they played on me years before!). The wonderful player was top of the line in Cambridge Audio\u2019s offer of the time. It would cost 1 million Lire when it came out (1996). Finally my system was balanced and I did fulfill many of my goals. Still, it was technology from the 90s and time matters a lot in digital technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasqualerobustini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hifi-cambridge_cd6_1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pasqualerobustini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hifi-cambridge_cd6_1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pasqualerobustini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hifi-cambridge_cd6_1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pasqualerobustini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/hifi-cambridge_cd6_1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years after, in 2001, I exchanged the Pioneer for a used Cambridge Audio CD-6 (in the same shop where I bought my first CD from Philips): it featured a very good reading section and a warm sound.
