I would agree the GPS module makes a very big different to the performance of the T1. It should be a standard item on the T1 or at least you should purchase it as an option.
Hi Bill,
Having traversed down a similar path to you a few years ago now, I am happy to share with you my learnings:
1) I would buy the X1 before the T1. The X1 power supply will build the foundation for your sound and it will provide you with a more bottom up and textured sound, more akin to...
Well, I have had CH C1.2 for about a week. It is still being run in and will take some more time to be fully understood and appreciated. However, at this stage, the differences are that it is more dimensional, a lot more depth and space and greater articulation of notes. It is also much more...
I have tried them to connect the CH C1 to M1.1. I had the Jorma Prime cables. On the upside, it sounded more natural, fluid and improved clarity compared to the Prime, especially female voices. On the downside, the staging was thrown further back, reduced presence and the dynamics were not...
I have CH gear end to end and previous owner of Jorma Prime Cables. I have tried the Statement and yes, it is better than the Prime but in all honesty, it is no match for Crystal Cable Absolute Dream. The Absolute Dream is better because: more air, punchy, directness and conveys more...
As I understand it, Esoteric ceased to be an OEM a few years ago so they do not sell anymore drives to third parties. So this has caused CH, dCS and many others a few issues.
Assuming the source is true then this is excellent news. Like all mechanical devices, the D1 has a shelf life and it is good that CH has developed a pathway for replacing the transport mechanism. And given their track record, I am sure it would be an excellent transport. Developing their own...
Despite all the great advances with streaming playback, including the Taiko, I still find the CD playback still provides me with the best sound quality, especially timbre and upper mid-range. So I really don’t mind getting up to change CD or LP. Besides, I have over 6000 CDs that are...
I have had the C1 and D1 for the last 4 years and I also upgraded to the latest CH Link HD connection. In combination with the X1 and T1, I believe it is still a world class product. I don’t feel that I am losing out to anything against other brands although I have not heard the WADAX Reference.
Hi Gian,
I agree with your comment. My comparison included the X1, although the X1 served both the P1 and L1. And even though I did not buy the 755, it was a better phono for me.
I have listened to both the CH P1 and 755 and I own the P1. The 755 is a outstanding performer - clean, fast, engaging, emotional and has all the details you ever need. It is better than the P1 for 3 reasons: depth /space, top end clarity and the bass. The P1 is no slouch but it is not in the...
I don’t hear compression or peak limiting on my system but I do recognise every system is different. And so I am clear, I am not making a judgement on anyone’s system, I just don’t hear these traits on my system.
Quatuor Ebene is recognised as one of the great string quartets today and their release of the Beethoven complete string quartets is very welcome by me. Even though it was recorded over 7 different locations, the sound is universally excellent to outstanding. If your system is resolving, you...
I have owned all CH, Solution and Dartzeel and here are my thoughts:
CH = a great all rounder but geared for smaller works (chamber, jazz) and chamber orchestra.
Soulution = muscular that is great for symphonic works, rock, indie music - try War on Drugs!.
Dartzeel = great for rock, hip-hop and...
