    CH Precision compared to Nagra

    I used to own Audio Research Ref 160S Amp, Ref 6SE Preamp, and Ref 3SE Phono. I replaced these components with the CH Precision M1.1, L1, and P1. I now have the CH Precision M10, L10, and P10. I had a chance to listen to an all Nagra system at my local dealer with the same speakers that I owned...

    To offer some perspective on timing, I placed my order with jcp.de on November 25. On December 4, I received notification that my order was being processed and was expected to ship that day. That notification also reported that, if a tracking number is assigned, the tracking number will be...

    How Do You Organize (Or Want To Organize) Your Record Collection?

    Thanks for the input. There are definitely many different ways to try to tame a beast of a collection. I cannot imagine dealing with thousands of records. my new shelving was just installed so now I will start to figure out how to organize. I think I will use your methodology for intermingling...

    How Do You Organize (Or Want To Organize) Your Record Collection?

    I love the idea of a separate section for mono albums. Thanks! Do you separate your box sets or do you incorporate them within your genre sections with other albums?

    Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......

    Your description is consistent with the vague language on the SRA website; however, the owner (Kevin Tellekamp) has a serious physics and engineering background. According to Tone Audio Magazine: ‘His “day job” involves solving vibration-related issues for NASA and the US Military”.

    Please feel free to contact me directly. I don't want to hijack this thread to make it about SRA or Timbernation. I was just trying to show my appreciation for wood racks generally.

    Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......

    The Massif racks are beautiful — enjoy them! It is nice to see wood racks receive some love and respect in this thread. I went in a similar but different direction with SRA which does not offer the same unique wood selections and artistry as Massif but I liked the simplicity of the aesthetic...

    CH Precision P10 phonostage

    I am enjoying the combination of the P10 with the TechDas AFIIIP-S, Acoustical Systems Axiom, and Ortofon MC Diamond. Today I listened to the new Supersense lacquer pressing of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On. The best I’ve heard this album.

    CH Precision P10 phonostage

    Generally, to my ears, I am hearing or at least perceiving better instrument separation; a more pleasing or natural tone; less glare or sibilance; and a closer to “live” sound. I don’t mean to imply that the P1/X1 combination is lacking in any of these areas; rather, the P10 is just better in my...

    CH Precision P10 phonostage

    Enjoy the P10. My CHP P10 was delivered and installed by my dealer on September 25, replacing the P1/X1. Since then, I have enjoyed many very happy hours of listening to vinyl, including the Supersense Mastercut Edition Getz/Gilberto; UK First Pressing of Joni Mitchell Court and Spark; Analogue...

    GIYA Owners: Have you found better footers?

    I too used the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 on my Vivid Giya G2S2 speakers. I traded in the speakers and now have three sets of 4 footers that I am not using which I will eventually list for sale.

    Whither Audio Research

    Having represented the workout department for two lenders, and after drafting many forbearance agreements in the course of that representation, I found that it is common for the bank to keep a distressed borrower on a very short leash. However, I don’t agree that banks are looking to create a...
