In Reply to: Cambridge Audio 640P edges out Slee and Parasound posted by OMalley on May 14, 2007 at 05:09:13:
After reading this review, it made me think if it is time for me to change out my Parasound PPH-100 that is connected to my Pro-Ject 1.2 turntable with Sumiko Pearl cartridge with the Cambridge Audio 640P or with the other choice I was thinking about a Channel Islands Audio VPP-1 since I own a CIA VDA-2 and VAC-1. Luckily with my Parasound, I have not experienced any hum that others have mentioned. Not sure if switching out my Parasound phono preamp with either the Cambridge or Channel Islands would be a sizeable upgrade in sound with my basic vinyl set up. Any thoughts?

Henry,Thanks for the response. Now do you think purchasing the CIA VPP-1 ($349) with it's price difference is justified over the Cambridge Audio 640P ($169)? Seems like your thoughts that either would be much better than my current Parasound PPH-100.
although I did own another of Dusty Vawter's pres, a Monolithic PS-1 at one time. If the CIA phono stage is as good as the Monolithic (It sold for $599) I'd say the CIA at $349 might be worth the difference, but it's a close call.
