Cambridge ( KAYM-brij) is a university city and the county town in Cambridgeshire, England. It is located on the River Cam approximately 55 miles (89 km) north of London. As of the 2021 United Kingdom census, the population of Cambridge was 145,700. Cambridge became an important trading centre during the Roman and Viking ages, and there is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area as early as the Bronze Age. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although modern city status was not officially conferred until 1951.
The city is most famous as the home of the University of Cambridge, which was founded in 1209 and consistently ranks among the best universities in the world. The buildings of the university include King's College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library, one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world. The city's skyline is dominated by several college buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, and the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital. Anglia Ruskin University, which evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen, which contains industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. Over 40 per cent of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, includes the headquarters of AstraZeneca and the relocated Royal Papworth Hospital.The first game of association football took place at Parker's Piece. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fair are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads. Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station.

    Question Cambridge audio AVR100 vs CX81

    Firstly, I’ve got the hi-fi bug! Surely this is more expensive then playing golf? Would upgrading to a CX81 provide an improvement in the sound quality over my existing AVR100. I’m fully aware that it’s all subjective ´person to person’ but wanted to ask the question..

    Question Cambridge Audio CXN V2 > AXR100

    Hi all, a couple of questions if I may.. Is the Dac in the CXN2 better then what is in the AVR100 or the other way around? If the CXN2 is better, I presume RCA out to the AVR100 is the best way forward? If the Dac in the AVR100 is better, then I presume Coaxial from the CXN2 into the AVR100...

    Question Cambridge Audio CXN (v2) or AXN10?

    Hi All, I’m really having a dilemma as to which one to get. Really like the CXN (due to the screen to be honest) but would it be better to get the AXN? I presume the AXN is better spec’d over the CXN and able get the latest firmware. Mainly going to listen to internet radio and Tidal Thoughts?

    Good evening, Looking to create a streaming set up and have narrowed my choices down to either of the options in the title. Realise the KEF's would be approximately £650 cheaper, but would the sound be comparably not as good? I know sound is subjective, and it is each to their own, however...

    Question Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M vs DacMagic XS

    So I realise that on the surface this is a stupid question, as surely a 10 year old, £80 USB bus powered DAC will pale in comparison to a fairly new £450 separate unit, but I wanted to understand the reasons why, given digital is digital and if it's reaching the desired bitrate / sampling rate...
