    Neodio B2 resonance device

    I just received my neodio B2’s from Sunny yesterday. I have to admit I was EXTREMELY skeptical until I heard them on a friend’s system and we listened with and without them. (His system is CH 10 series mono, Stenheim Ref 2, and Wadax). The difference was strikingly noticeable. Once I installed...

    CH Precision 10 series

    Funny how all of the reviews, basically, say the same thing as most of us that own the 10 Series. Yet, there will still be those that have never heard the 10 Series, or heard it at a show, that continue to cast doubt. It’s just different. You have to hear it properly set up. I have yet to have...

    CH Precision 10 series

    I‘m another tube enthusiast who has made the jump to CH. I’ve only had my 10 Series for a few months and we are still dialing things in. I initially bought the M1.1 and L1- I loved the sound and was very happy. However, when I heard the 10 Series in a few different set ups ”I knew” it was for...

    Wow! My M10 and L10 stereo units are on their way and I’m even more excited after hearing your initial impressions!

    CH Precision 10 series

    Yes- and his “rooms” can pose a challenge, yet the sound was exceptional. So, how good could it sound in a “real” room?!

    CH Precision 10 series

    Yes, the Stenheim Ultime 2. I was amazed at how effortlessly the amps drove the speakers.

    CH Precision 10 series

    I had the opportunity to have a private 10 Series listening session in SoCal today. I had read a few of the comments posted on this thread so I went in particularly focused on the bass performance. Maybe its because I had the room to myself without distraction, but I was absolutely blown away...

    Best Amp - Speaker Combination you've ever Heard.

    The best amp/speaker combination I’ve ever heard is Dartzeal paired with Acoustic Evolution in Mike Lavigne’s listening room. I’ve heard many great combinations but have still yet to hear anything eclipse the system that Mike has put together.

    What Tube Preamps Synergize Well with CH Precision?

    I just recently made the change to CH from Audio Research. The Ref 40 pre was the centerpiece of my system. The more research and listening that I did the more I realized that my best move was to replace the Ref 40 with the L1. The whole system is incredible, but the L1 really is a game changer...

    Incredible L1

    Both sound great! I was surprised to notice a pretty audible difference between the two. I prefer the sound of the CH hands down based on those videos. Thanks for posting.

    A Visit to AudioArts - NYC to hear CH Precision - FM Acoustics - Zellaton

    I am new to this forum. I was fortunate enough to have a pair of pre-owned Zellaton Concerts fall into my lap. I'd like to say that I did my research and zeroed in on them but, frankly, they found me! And am I ever glad they did! I was a life long Vandersteen guy and thought my system sounded...
