"And the 651P has a volume control on the top plate." What you see on the top plate is just a cambridge symbol with no function.

Hi again! Are you sure about that? The output from a ria stage differs quite a lot from the output a preamp gives, I thought.

Correct! But I thought that i could connect Azur 651P directly to my power amplifier azur 651w.

No you can not! I went to the local hifi-dealer today and the said that besides the 651P i need a analog preamp. So in total 4 boxes! Well I still have time to think about it since the cxa 80 first arrive in the beginning of march ;-)

Great! I misunderstood. I denent know that i could connect the cambridge phono stage directly to the power amplifier. Well I have 3 boxes but I still have tv-bench with some space and I dont think the phono stage is so big. So now I am considering either cxa80 and phono stage or my combination...

Hi! I can only chosse between the cambridge products I mentioned.

hello again! are you sure I cant use this: https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/hifi-and-home-cinema/azur-651p and connect it to the powe amplifier directly? It seems to have volym-control.

ok interesting produkt. but isn’t there a risk that vinyl and digital sources will sound quite similar?

yeah. terrible ;-) It was not only the space but also the estetics and than also I have small children. but also the sound charakter differs a lot. the 685 s2 are more high - resultion and the snell type b minor brings you the fellenig of sitting in a jazz or rockklubb.

unfortunately i can’t swap to the Marantz PM8005 because the only have lover level denon products and cambrideg in that particularly store. I also can consider buying used preamp such as and with phono stage. But then I have suddenly 3 units! Another option is to upgrade to a good preamp...

"How about get a TT with USB output, connect it to your PC and your PC is connected to your DacMagic, which means you can play your TT without buying extra phono amp. You can also rip your vinyl collection as FLAC/ALAC files on your computer. " This is to complicated, and I want simple...

Hi! I do have a vinyl collection. Before I had a Thorens turntabel and a nad 3020b. Does the Azur 651 p as volume controll? I somehow realize that sepparate units are better but my wife complains that everything is so complicated! Do you have any speakers in the 1200usd range you can...

Yes I am aware of that the power amplifier gives more power but will I hear it with my 685 S2? One problem with my setup is also that i dont have any remote controll so in the future i might also need a preamp with remote. Since the cxa is newer then the Azur serie I am wondering if the cxa...

Hello! My current setup is Dacmagic plus to Azur 651 w and B&W 685 S2. I am happy with the sound but I would like to have fewer units and maby analog outputs for connecting a turntabel in the future maybe also bigger loudspeakers. So I am thinking about to switch the dagmagic plus and my 651w...
