After one month, since its launching, has anyone demoed the new CA Azur 651A?

I hope WHF will test it soon....

Hi, I can't see the 615A on the Richer Sounds website, can you even buy it yet? Maybe in stores? I would expect it to be the same as the 650A but with the addition of the USB.

I recall seeing it was going to be launched in January, but not sure.

Like Blackdawn, looking at the specs and design I suspect it is probably going to be a 650A with USB connectivity.

I've recently bought 651A + C, they are hooked up to MA BX5s which are still running in and already they sing like an angel. Fantastic soundstage and handles complicated music really well.

 

I Love it

Nice to hear that.congratulations!  Soundtsage is always one of CA azur strenghts. In terms of sound-quality, are the 651 a-c much better than 650a-c or they sound different??I mean, are they still  "clinical" or "harsh" (as people tend to describe them)?

RE: CA Azur 651 A

I'm probably not the best person to ask as i'm a big fan on the CA sound. The 651 is certainly very detailed but not sure about harsh, it handles Bob Dylan very well when many other systems make you wince when listening to him.
