    Decrease power amp’s gain to increase resolution of preamp?

    Thank you. Than if i understood rigt i can give it a try. It will not increase distortion or noise up to some leveş. My speakers are 92db il cremonese ex3me. Maybe i can ask yo CH Precision team for the sweet spot of their pre amp volume level.

    Decrease power amp’s gain to increase resolution of preamp?

    Hi I heard from PS Audio videos that at low volumes pre amps loose some resolution. When you increase volume they open up. I am living in an apartment and mostly listen in low volume levels. I hava a CH L1 pre and M1.1 power set up. The power amp allows to reduce gain uo to -12db. If i do that...

    Hi everyone. I am a long time Sonus Faber user and love the brand because of its great deap soundstage but some times it is too warm and lack of treble detail. My speraker is at the reference line and limited to 50 pieces all over the world and has a düamond like berilium tweeter but it is even...

    M1.1 Gain Setting with C1.2

    Thanks but i did not get the idea. I am trying to use my C1.2 at its analog only section and then to understand at which volume level it works analog only. Then try to decrease the gain of M1.1 to use the C1.2 at its best with the volume control. So what will that racks do for this?

    Thank you. Now i use C1.2 with X1 and M1.2. What i feel is sound is great so far. I really want to try L1 to understand if it is worth the extra budget. Even with it i am very happy with the sound. Especially the soundstage depth and seperetain. What sould expect to improve with L1 ?

    CH Precision L1 vs C1.2 Pre-Dac?

    Maybe i am wrong but what i understand from upgrading monos from stereo is some power gain. At least some brands’ specs show the power increase. I do not see it at the tech specs of my M1.1. Stereo power output and monos are same other than 1 ohm drive. So what sould i expect to upgrade monos...

    CH Precision L1 vs C1.2 Pre-Dac?

    Thank you Roy. Maybe i can buy a A1.5 to drive mid and highs and m1.1 will take care of the bass drivers. They say A1.5 is a more open and detailed amp.

    L1 or X1 At First?

    Thank you. Sure i will ask for a try. So if the budget is tight for now adding X1 to imprure the dac’s resolıtion is a wise choice ? And then add L1
