    new 45rpm direct-to-disc---Dvorak Symphony No.9---he who hesitates...

    I got number 0067 / 1893. Also, it seems that the LPs are 140 gm weight. The Accentus website verified that the discs are in fact 140gm not 180gm. https://accentus.com/a-message-concerning-our-from-the-new-world-vinyl-box-set-vinyl-weight/ Nevertheless, this is one fabulous performance and a...

    new 45rpm direct-to-disc---Dvorak Symphony No.9---he who hesitates...

    Wow. I guess I’m lucky. My copy is dead quiet. As we have stated, the performance is really top notch. Hrusa and Bamberger Symphony have formed a great pairing! Hope those of you who got less than perfect copies can get things resolved. I really am enjoying these 45rpm releases from...

    Recent Concerts You've Enjoyed

    I was at the Yuja Wang concert Tuesday night at Carnegie Hall too. My wife surprised me with a birthday present to have my birthday dinner at Sea Fire Grill, NYC (my favorite) and see Yuja Wang! We flew into NYC and stayed at the Royalton Park Ave South. It’s a long way from Carnegie Hall but...

    Rhoda Scott is AWESOME !

    Hello Everyone. Please take a moment and have a listen to Rhoda Scott. I found her on QoBuz last month when she released her latest recording. She is going to be 84 years old, plays the hammond B3 and from what I've heard, she is right up there with the Hammond B3 greats Jimmy Smith, Lonnie...

    CH Precision with HRS SXR rack - query

    All, I’ve had this discussion with Mike Latvis, HRS. We don’t want the Vortex/Helix/Nimbus under the CH Precision feet. These devices should make contact with our chassis. Mike’s advice was to draw imaginary diagonal lines from the front feet to back. Place the Vortex/Helix/Nimbus just...

    CH Precision with HRS SXR rack - query

    All, my advice is the 10” struts since it gives you the flexibility to add chassis vibration components if you choose to do so and the air flow is better. If you measure the height of a CH Precision L1/L10/P1/C1/D1/X1/X10/T1 plus Vortex plus a damping plate (DPX-14545) you get 8”. You could...

    CH Precision with HRS SXR rack - query

    Yes. As long as the sub has a high impedance input, it will not be a problem. Several of our owners use REL subs that have high impedance inputs and connect to our amps similarly to what you are describing.

    CH Precision with HRS SXR rack - query

    Azjya, the struts on left and right are the 12" clearance height. The middle is 14" clearance for the M10. If you load our smaller components one at a time into a 12" clearance shelf, and intend to stack them, you have to be extremely careful. If you get help and can stack and then place the...

    CH Precision with HRS SXR rack - query

    Hi Azjya. I'm happy to offer insights into the procedure for setting our big amplifiers, A1.5s, M1.1s, M10s on to HRS racks / platforms. Usually the installation of our systems are done by our dealers who are familiar with the procedure I've described below. Furthermore, our components have a...

    CH Precision D1.5 sacd transport/player

    Hi Jeromelang. Yes, the D1.5 can be controlled using either the supplied remote or the CH Precision control app (D1 too). Our app does not show a track listing, however, one can directly choose a track to play using the control app. To do this, load a disc. The total number of tracks appears...

    CH Precision D1.5 sacd transport/player

    In the US market, there is a trade-in / trade-up program for D1 owners. Our dealers have the details. Check with the dealers in your geography for the exact details. I’ve now listened to the D1.5 in my system for about a week as a one-box player and as a transport connected a C1/T1/X1-D. As...

    CH Precision D1.5 sacd transport/player

    All, a few more details for you on our new D1.5. The MORSe consists of a heavy brass module, weighing almost 1 kg, on which the optical pick-up and disc drive motor are precisely assembled. This unusually high weight allows us to push the mechanical resonance frequency of the module several...

    A new drive mechanism for the CH Precision D1 SACD player!!!

    The D1.5 comes with it's own remote to control the transport. Our webpage has been updated and includes the D1.5. Have a look here: https://www.ch-precision.com/product/d1-5-cd-sacd-player-transport/

    CH Precision D1.5 sacd transport/player

    Hi. We are excited to announce the D1.5. The D1.5 can be configured as a one box player that plays CD/SACD/MQA encoded disks by adding a pair of Analog output cards, or as a transport feeding our C1 through CH-Link HD or any other DAC through it's digital output card (AES/EBU, S/PDIF...

    C1+T1+X1 or C1 Mono or something else?

    What I've advised MANY of our owners is to get the main component blocks in place first: source (C1/P1), pre-amp (L1), amp (A1.5/M1.1). Why? Because in an all CH Precision system the "whole system" is greater than the sum of the individual parts. X1s, T1 will improve performance further. True...

    C1+T1+X1 or C1 Mono or something else?

    Emerald, Thank you for choosing CH Precision. I have a few suggestions for you. C1 Mono will outperform C1/X1/T1. However, if you are not planning on building a true mono system (M1.1 mono, L1 mono) my advice would be to try the C1/X1/T1 with your M1.1 stereo. I would absolutely consider an...

    Incredible L1

    Changing input voltage is easy to do. There are two fuses in the fuse holder at the rear. The units MUST be powered off and the power cords DISCONNECTED from the wall socket. If you are a "layman" please have an authorized CH Precision dealer do this for you. Remove the fuse holder and make...

    Simon Rattle Berliner Sibelius 1-7 Symphonies-----Lp set----like it alot so far......

    Mike, hope you are well. I bought the SACD set several months ago. I love it. They sound great but I'm sure the LPs are a treat. The Berlin Philharmonic label is EXCELLENT!! Quality and performances!

    Incredible L1

    I suggest around 300 hours. I've heard the full measure of M1.1 at 300 hours and others (including our US Dealers and owners!) say it takes a bit longer. Your patience will be rewarded.

    Incredible L1

    abeidov, Congratulations on your purchase of the L1. We are delighted that you are now listening to our M1.1 mono amps. Here are a couple of suggestions: 1. Amplifier Mode: I suggest you run the amps in true mono mode for the Sasha DAW. "Mono 1" for the left channel where the left speaker...

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Hi Ian. Yes. The improvement was easy to hear. We used Mendelssohn Piano Concerto #1, Stephan Hough (CD), and Dexter Gordon "I was Doin' Alright" (APO 45-RPM LP) for the comparison. These are excellent recordings with solo instruments prominent in the recordings. I heard an improvement in...

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Micro13, thanks for the question. I use Nordost QKore grounding boxes and have advised several of our owners who use the CAD grounding boxes. I don't have any experience with the Synergistic grounding solution but I think the answer would be the same. Follow my advice on the position of the...

    C1 Network Connections

    I’ve been using LPS from Fidelizer. They are reasonably priced in my view and work great. All of my Ethernet cables that carry signal are AQ Diamond. I’m very happy with the results

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Yes. "Linked". If using L10 mono, switch position should be "Linked" on both L10 units.

    C1 Network Connections

    Congratulations on the purchase of your pre-owned C1 DAC. The first check I would make is the firmware level of your C1. To check the level connect your C1 to your home network and have an Android device running our control app connected wirelessly to the same network. Our control app will...

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Hi Everyone. The L10 has a new feature for our preamps, the ability to select 0% global feedback or 100% global feedback. The L10 defaults to 0% but one can easily change this setting from the front panel or with our CH Precision control app. I prefer 0% in the listening I’ve done with L10...
