Power supply for Cambridge Audio Azur 651P phono ?


Hello,

Audio Advisor tells me that their Pangea P100 power supply unit is discontinued (only the European version remains).

I wanted to try this on my 651P phono.

What next, what could I use now ?

Thanks if you can help.

I believe that Dusty Vawter at Channel Islands Audio can make one up for you.

I also think that, for the combined price, you can have a much better phono stage. YMMV.
The 300 bucks or so "combined price" of my 640P/Pangea P100 make some very nice sounding analog. Seriously nice sounding. It surprises me that Audio Advisor isn't making an upgrade of the P100 to offer with the newer 651P and DacMagic stuff since the things work really well, and sold like proverbial hotcakes. How hard could that be?
I contacted Audio Advisor and was told they could not get more of them from the manufacturer...I doubt this is the truth.
They likely ran out of 'em and moved on. It was an Audio Advisor product supposedly designed by a perhaps "in demand" Peter Madnick (Constellation Audio), so I figure they simply finished the run and can't be bothered to redesign the thing. Cambridge should be the ones selling beefy power supplies anyway, but I assume they think the stock wall warts are fine and they want to keep the stuff at a certain price point.
We're all trying to find the best bang for the buck, so something may sound nice, but not really be competitive within it's price class. "Seriously nice sounding", is unfortunately not a comparative statement.

When I owned the 640P I found it bettered by every other phono stage that I had at the time. That would include the Creek, Musical Fidelity, Musical Surroundings, Graham Slee, Radio Shack and Shure. YMMV, but I would cut and run. Putting a band aid on it won't get you there.

For three large used you could have a Phonomena, Gram Amp 2SE, or Hagermann, which are all in another class. Just my 2 cents.
