Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2017 1:13 pm
A customer who has owned one of these for a couple of months has contacted me. He started with the basic Cambs unit and thought it was crap, he sent it to Arkless and thinks that is less crap but not good enough for him. He has now ordered a Phono 2 and is waiting delivery.
Anyway to the point. I have been offered the Arkless unit in exchange for a second PSU for the Phono 2 and I am very much in two minds whether to get it. If I comment on it I will be accused of bias, and I have already personally heard how bad the Arkless is. If I take it to bake offs or make it available on loan I am sure I will be accused of messing with it. So how can I assure that it has not been messed with, well the only solution I see is if I go ahead with the deal is for it to be sent to one of you by the seller so as to listen to and report and then pass it around to others and to Bake-offs, so it never comes near me - what do you all think.
