Product Description

Product Description

The entry-level 540P is a high quality Moving Magnet design featuring single-ended "Class A" gain stages and discrete transistors instead of the more common integrated circuits. This gives less cross-talk and interference across the signal path. The 540P employs an active RIAA equalization system. The rear panel benefits from gold plated input connectors to minimize signal path interference and reduce surface degradation. An external power supply comes as standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and detailed sound, March 29, 2010

This review is from: Cambridge - 540P Outboard Audiophile MM Phono Stage - Silver (Electronics)

I bought this preamplifier based on the recommendations it has garnered from other reviewers. It is hooked up to a Technics DD turntable with a Stanton cartridge and the sound quality is well above my expectations. Through my studio monitors I can hear instruments imaging where they should, and the RIAA equalization seems accurate compared to recordings I have on CD. Noise floor is fairly low and the grounding circuit is excellent. No hum and wonderful, detailed sound. This is an excellent value for the money!

From what I can tell, this phono pre amp does the job well. Only downside is there is no power switch so one needs to hook up to a powerstrip or just keep it on. Solid as a tank.
