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.

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.
True enough..."seriously nice sounding" should have been "seriously great sounding" especially with the P100 power supply. Snarky phono stage hoarders opinions may vary.
Snarky yes, hoarder no. I'm down to only three. Need I point out that your ad hominem post still does not help the OP from a contextual standpoint?
If I can lead the OP to a used 640P with a P100, or at least share my thoughts generally about the thing, I've helped make the world a better place in spite of the efforts of pretentious and condescending context police attempting to crawl up my wazoo.
