Yes that is sadly where my tiny single brain cell lives !
Sadly they are now part of IAG, Shenzen, not terribly Cambridge. Not an ending but perhaps a change of direction......I would get a pair of serviced 606's in if you want to stay originial. Some of the Chinese HiFi stuff is really good value and quality but does show limitations when compared.
I remember when my dad had a 33/303 set running a pair of Cambridge Audio C40's? I think. A Thorens TD160/SME/V15 was the source. For a while there was a Ferrograph reel to reel player involved as well but there was little content for it and it got sold. I have great memories of watching those reels turning.
I have a pair of ESL-63 downstairs attached to the computer as the output for Webinaring and doing Teams/Whatscrap/Skype/Facetime/all of 'em Their transparency gives the voices a real clarity!
If you want a good comparrison of old brands vs new there is a high end coffee machine called Wendougee DATA S which sounds funny but is remarkable! They have done an genuinely amazing job of building a computer and plumbing to replicate and "improve" on making real espresso.
I ended up buying an authentic Izzo Pompei Dual Lever due to my dinosaur gene.
How the world is changing.
