Every Room that CH was in got great reviews and mentions for the top sound at the show.
That's a pretty great endorsement of the product and its place in the audio spectrum. Used on Magico, Rockport and Gobel speakers.

The quote is from TAS.

"The DeBear Saphir turntable and Onyx tonearm were shown in a room hosted by Musical Artisans and CH Precision. Naturally, the electronics were all CH Precision. The speakers were Rockport’s $62,000 Cygnus. The cartridge was the Top Wing Suzaku Red Sparrow ($16,500) and cables were from Argento. Listening to Joni Mitchell’s Mingus album revealed a good soundstage but a slight bit of thinness on Joni’s voice and Jaco’s bass. Since I’ve heard Cygnus sound full in those areas before and CH can be a bit to the lighter side of neutral (depending on configuration), I’m unsure of the cause—other than some reports mentioning the Top Wing cartridge having less fullness in the lower spectrum than other cartridge offerings. Nonetheless, I’d welcome the opportunity to spend more time with the DeBaer Saphir and Onyx to find out more about their capabilities as a vinyl playback source component. (I also wouldn’t mind a very brief audition of the Top Wing cartridge.)"

Personally I never heard CH sounded thin. I could guess why he heard it like that.

The author's comment is not exactly a total compliment when he listened to vinyl. But the guy who made comment down below the article gives a very good impression when he listened to digital in that room.

The vinyl set up is really detrimental and can shoot manufacturers in the foot if not careful.

I want to point out that Musical Artisans is not an authorized Top Wing dealer.

Hi there,

I'm considering purchasing a DaBaer Onyx tonearm for my Transrotor Dark Star TT. It's difficult to find many reviews or info on the sound signature. Out of the box the TR is a touch too bright for me and I want to get a better fuller sound.

Any advice on the Onyx would be greatly appreciated. (from anyone who has heard the arm)
Thanks
John
