In Reply to: Cambridge Audio 640P edges out Slee and Parasound posted by OMalley on May 14, 2007 at 05:09:13:
I bought one some time ago, but returned it to go with a factory-installed phono stage in my Bryston BP25. I bought a 540P to use in a second (surround sound / vintage quadraphonic) system with an Audio Refinement Pre2-DSP, but something was missing. I sold the 540P and bought another 640P and I must say that it is significantly better than its cheaper sibling.I had also tried a Parasound, but it was a pretty big disappointment. I also tried NAD and Pro-Ject Phono Box units in the past, but the 640P is BY FAR the better choice ... especially for the price ... but to be fair, it was the original Phono Box.
One very cool thing is that the 640P actually has inputs for two turntables, since it has separate input jacks for MM and MC cartridges. You just have to use the MM/MC switch on the back to select betweent them.
