The Cambridge Audio CXA81 Mk II builds on the success of its award-winning predecessors. ALlways looking for new ways to improve your listening experience – Cambridge Audio recognises that great sound never goes out of fashion.
CXA81 Mk II is effortless, poised and sophisticated – only more so. 80 watts per channel give it complete authority over your music, to reveal every emotion and nuance contained within it.
Raising the Standard
How to improve on CXA81, the amplifier regarded by many as the standard-bearer at its price point? Focusing on the all-important signal path, we re-engineered it with premium components end to end, plus an upgraded DAC and a whole load of listening and tuning; all part of a relentless drive to deliver new clarity and depth. The outcome? Audio performance that goes way beyond expectations.
Your World’s a Stage
What hits you first when you hear familiar music through CXA81 Mk II, is just how detailed everything sounds. You’ll pick up instruments, subtle shifts in tone, and harmonies you’ve previously missed. Close your eyes, and you’ll be able to place every musician in the soundstage. Once you’ve heard CXA81 Mk II, there’s no turning back.
Effortlessly Musical
At the centre of CXA81 Mk II lies a custom-designed Class AB power amplifier stage with highly optimised components. It takes the musicality of Class A and blends it with the efficiency of Class B. The amp’s short signal path is super-efficient, leaving little opportunity for colouration. The result is a detailed sound that connects you to the emotional power of your music.Power!
Thanks to a chunky toroidal transformer, CXA81 Mk II delivers a generous 80 watts of power per channel. Dual taps into the left and right of the amplification board mean that, in effect, each channel has its own power supply – resulting in a vivid soundstage. Dynamic shifts in music – like loud then quiet passages – are handled with ease.Digital Love
Designed to bring your digital music to life, CXA81 Mk II features the upgraded ESS ES9018K2M DAC (digital analogue converter) in its dedicated circuitry. This means that digital audio files, up to a heady 24-bit/384kHz or DSD256, are unpacked – with every subtle detail delivered in full. CXA81 Mk II combines unparalleled accuracy with vivid musicality, doing so beautifully.Get Connected

As well as digital optical, coaxial and USB Audio (from computers), it features stereo RCA inputs, balanced XLR sockets plus wireless hi-res connectivity via Bluetooth aptX HD – perfect for our Alva turntables.You can even connect a second set of speakers, to hear your music in another room.

Matcha Powder
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
Jade Leaf Matcha has become my go-to matcha powder, and I keep coming back to it time and time again. The quality is consistently great, with a fresh flavor and vibrant green color that mixes well into drinks and recipes. I use it regularly for matcha lattes, smoothies, and even baking, and it always delivers great results.
For a culinary-grade matcha, I think the flavor is excellent—not overly bitter and smooth enough to enjoy daily. It blends easily and provides the perfect matcha taste without breaking the budget. I’ve tried other brands over the years, but this is the one I continue to repurchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality matcha for everyday use, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Matcha
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t decided if I really like Matcha, as I got this, just to find that out. I find that the packaging is interesting, and it is best, probably, to store it in the package it comes in. It has a mild flavor, and I am just making tea with it, as I don’t bake any more. It is a bright green powder with a smooth, mild taste, and in a clever package.

A Premium Matcha Experience for the True Connoisseur
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I recently had the pleasure of trying the Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-quality product. As someone who enjoys matcha regularly, I was eager to compare this offering to others on the market, and I have to say I was very impressed.
The first thing I noticed was the vibrant green color of the powder. It’s a rich, deep green that is indicative of the quality and freshness of the leaves. When prepared, the tea has a smooth, silky texture and a natural sweetness that makes it enjoyable both on its own and as an addition to smoothies or lattes. I appreciate that this matcha doesn’t have the bitterness that can sometimes accompany lesser-quality varieties, making it a perfect choice for ceremonial use or a relaxing daily treat.
As a ceremonial grade matcha, it’s clear that Jade Leaf has carefully sourced and processed the tea leaves. The flavor is balanced and complex, with grassy, vegetal notes followed by a subtle sweetness. It has the perfect level of umami, which is an essential characteristic of a high-quality matcha. I’ve tried a variety of brands, but this one stands out for its consistency and superior taste.
The packaging is also noteworthy. The resealable bag ensures the matcha stays fresh, which is crucial for preserving its delicate flavor and antioxidants. It’s easy to scoop out the right amount without making a mess, and the instructions on the back are clear and helpful for those new to preparing matcha.
Whether you’re a seasoned matcha drinker or new to the world of green tea, this Jade Leaf matcha provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality matcha that delivers excellent taste and a sense of calm and clarity with every sip.
