Cambridge Audio Phono Stage

On that page it says the power supply is external, so presumably room for improvement there with a better DIY effort....
 
For £40 I'd buy one! I've got a couple of their amps knocking about somewhere, they're actually pretty good I think, considering what I paid for them. I might get one for the case, haven't seen a box like that for £40 anywhere
 
i cant think of anything new for that much either.

second hand theres a project phonobox at the emporium for £35.
they do new graham slee gram amps for £85, but thats double.

I thought that they looked pretty neat too. I think that the case is actually quite a small 'half size' unit, at first i thought the Phono stage was a full size 430mm wide one , but i don't think it is. The picture is quite deceptive in this respect.
I reckon that housing a seperate DIY PSU in a second case to sit along side would be pretty neat though ? I'm surprised Cambridge haven't cottoned on to this themselves, they could call it an SE or signature model and charge a premium for doing so....

Yes, that thought had crossed my mind, still a neat box though, most phono circuits are pretty small, I could put my tube circuit in I should think, with an external supply.

EDIT: You just edited and said that :cool:
 
yes, a pair of those boxes and a blue LED, it'd look a fair bit like the WAD stage, except wide.
 
Well maybe I will just run down to my Richer Sounds and pick one up. I have had the Pro-Ject entry level phono box before which is OK, so I will see how the Cambridge Audio compares.
