description: Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 – Review There is something particularly appealing about a well-designed budget integrated amplifier. It doesn’t need extravagant specifications, enormous power reserves or a collection of digital features to be good.

On paper, that may not sound particularly impressive in an era when amplifiers routinely advertise hundreds of watts, but the AM10 demonstrates that sensible engineering can matter more than headline power figures. Design & Build Quality The Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 has the understated appearance that has become closely associated with Cambridge Audio. A brushed-aluminium front panel gives the amplifier a clean, understated appearance, while the chassis has a reassuringly solid feel. Cambridge also paid attention to mechanical construction, using a rigid wrap-around lid assembly intended to help control resonance. The front panel is simple and functional.

There is also a record output and a full-size 6.35m…
