User manual CAMBRIDGE AUDIO D SERIES

[. . . ] We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as our CD players. Interconnects and speaker cables are also something that shouldn't be overlooked. Please do not compromise your system's performance by using poor quality cables to connect your D Series to your amplifier or the amplifiers output to your loudspeakers. For this reason we do not include cheap "freebie" cables in the box.
