Cambridge Audio AXA35
35-watt-per-channel stereo integrated amplifier with a built-in moving magnet phono stage, for easily connecting a turntable without an external preamp.
Description
The Cambridge Audio AXA35 is a stereo integrated amplifier designed to power a pair of speakers and centralise the sources of a small hi-fi system. It delivers 35 watts per channel, a level suited to domestic listening in a living room or bedroom, without aiming at a large-scale installation.
Its distinctive feature is a built-in moving magnet phono stage, allowing a turntable fitted with an MM cartridge to be connected directly without going through a separate phono preamplifier. This integration simplifies the wiring and reduces the number of devices needed to listen to vinyl.
The unit also features a white display screen, useful for viewing the selected source or the volume level, and a ¼ inch headphone output, allowing headphone listening without disturbing those around you.
This type of amplifier is aimed at someone wishing to build a simple stereo system, particularly around a turntable, without multiplying additional units. It will suit a beginner setting up their first system as much as an enthusiast looking for a compact, versatile amplifier for a second system.

What to check before buying used
The volume potentiometer should be tested throughout its full range to detect any crackling or channel imbalance, a common symptom on amplifiers that have seen heavy use. Also check the ¼ inch headphone output, whose contact can oxidise with use, as well as the display screen for a dead pixel or reduced brightness. Finally, checking the built-in phono stage while playing a turntable ensures there is no background noise or hum.
