AA is a really good company to buy from. I purchased a Musical Fidelity CDP from them and had problems. they give thirty days to try it in your home. If you have problems call them up and they will send you labels to send it back.

Yes they do give a warranty. But if I where you, I would not order through AA's internet interface, I would call them up and order that way. Then you could ask all the important questions up front so there is no misunderstandings

good i want to make sure if i do order something from them it has a warranty and yeah i might just call and ask and order on the phone or just ask on the phone then order online but i deffinetly want to make sure i ask all the important things first before i order

The warranty is provided by the manufacturer, not the retail seller. Some manufacturers' warranties require you to buy from an authorized dealer, but that wouldn't be a problem with Audio Advisor.

ok does anybody know what the warranty on cambridge audio is ? and if u want to listen to vinyls on a int. amp do u need to have a phono output or can u plug it into another output ? cause the cambridge int. amp i want doesnt have a phono output http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CA340A

If the Int. Amp does not have a phono input then you will need to buy a phono preamp. Take a look at the bellari phono preamp, its a real bargain.

I have ordered from AA and they are a reputable company. I ordered my Parasound amp by phone.

We talked about this one in your thread on integrated amps:

http://www.spearitsound.com/Cambridge_Audio/Cambridge_Audio_540p.asp


The output coming from your phono cartridge is far too low for the Aux input. You would need to connect the turntable to a phono preamp and then the phono preamp to the Aux input.

You might want to consider an integrated with a built in phono stage. AA has the Marantz PM5003 and I'm sure there are plenty of others. If you're pressed for space that is one alternative.

We also mentioned the Marantz in the other thread...

i think im just gonna get the http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CA340A for now then adventually get the seperate phono preamp to run vinyls im just get a cd player for now to listen to or just plug in my ipod but i think the cambridge is a good amp for the price and its just what i need a little bit of audiophile for a small price and its not gonna be way to over powered for what im listening to, i could go for that NAD but i dont see why its more money, only two channels, and it doesnt have a phono output so i would have to spend another $100 to $200 dollars where as the cambridge its four channels, $350 bucks, but it also doesnt have a phono output but i can get a matching one for $100 and its still cheaper than just the NAD itself
