Hi-fi amplifiers

This retro-styled amp from TEAC might look the business, but we found it wanting against its competition in this class

The Azur 550A is another fine budget amplifier from Cambridge Audio, although in this market the competition's more than fierce

It's small and stylish, and incredibly well built too - in short we think this Chord Cyan Click HP is a bit of a top-end hi-fi gem

Quite simply the most enjoyable Denon amplifier we've heard in ages - the PMA-710 is a solidly accomplished performer

This NAD integrated amplifier is a great listen for the money, but it's just outclassed by some of its very close rivals

An idiosyncratic valve-based design, the Synthesis Shine will hopefully put this little known brand on the radar of UK hi-fi customers

This Creek is a nicely built and likeable amp; it just lacks the dynamic reach of the very best

If you're on a budget, and searching for a decent receiver/ amplifier combo, then you could do much worse then this Cambridge Audio gem

The Dartzeel CTH-8550 is certainly a well-engineered amplifier, and eye-catching to boot, but the colossal price tag weighs it down

The superb RA-04SE is just the latest in a long line of ever-improving Rotel amplifiers
