    Overheating amplifier

    I don't think that the 551p has a sonic filter as the 651p has a filter 'on/off' switch where the 551p doesn't.

    Overheating amplifier

    If it is on issue with subsonic frequencies then a 651p is worth a look. I use one for with my 1210 and Ortofon Bronze cart. https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/hifi-and-home-cinema/azur-651p

    Forum poll - How important is accurate music reproduction to you?

    3-4 for me. Even with poor sounding CDs/Rips/streams, sat listening to Feeder - Singles, one of the worst sounding albums that I have, but still enjoying the music.

    What vinyl are you listening to?

    CARTRIDGE UPGRADE FOR MY TECHNICS SL1200MK2

    Hi, I have an Ortofon Bronze on my 1210 and have been really pleased with it. Have been a fan of Ortofon since using Concordes for DJing. One thing that I have learnt is that the correct set up for non DJ carts is essential.
