Cambridge Audio 651P Phono Preamp Silver - Clearance

Savor the soothing warmth of vinyl and fine analog detail with Cambridge Audio's Azur 651P phono preamp, compatible with both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. As a devoted music listener, you know there's something unique about listening to vinyl, something digital media can't reproduce in quite the same way. While the latest digital formats sound incredible, there's detail and warmth that can't always be expressed in 0s and 1s. Azur 651P lets you enjoy your favorite LPs in superb quality no matter what 'table or cartridge type you use.

Most amplifiers won't let you directly plug in a turntable. You need to connect it via a phonostage to make the turntable's extremely quiet signal powerful enough for the amplifier. But it's easy to add noise at this stage, which is why 651P uses hand-picked components chosen to amplify the signal without distorting it or introducing noise. In fact, 651P does its job with such finesse that, even if your amplifier features a built-in phonostage, bypassing via the 651P delivers much greater depth and detail of audio. Vinyl lovers will instantly hear the difference the dedicated 651P makes to quality.

Audio circuitry is refined with multiple transistors wired in parallel, ensuring the lowest-possible distortion and noise. A copper shield provides further protection to this extremely sensitive part of the circuitry, limiting the noise that can be injected into the signal. This is especially important with MC cartridges since the signal is even quieter and more delicate than MM types. In addition, high-spec multi-parallel capacitors achieve exceptional RIAA accuracy and a highly accurate, subsonic filter removes unwanted low-frequencies.
