Description

Stage 2 upgrade for the well reviewed and well respected Cambridge Audio Azur 540P budget phono stage.  The kit includes all the components you need and an instruction manual to transform your phono stage into a high-end contender.  You or your appointed technician must carry out the upgrade to your existing phono stage.  maudifi also offers an upgrade service for UK customers, available here.

Internal components are replaced with much higher quality ones transforming the soundstage, separation, detail, etc. available from your vinyl source to a whole different level. The sound quality gets close to that of an expensive high-end phono stage.
