Re: CH Precision Announces New 10 Series
I have an M1.1 which was set to a global feedback of 10% and gain of 2.5. MSB recommends using their DAC with volume setting at 94-98 depending upon the preamp with 98 being recommended for most...

Re: CH Precision Announces New 10 Series
I had an ARC REF10 prior to upgrading the MSB to the Select II. I was very sure that the "hyperbole" of MSB was just that and that surely the pre stage on the Select couldn't be better. Well I was...

Re: CH Precision Announces New 10 Series
Just curious, this thread started denigrating the high and “ridiculous” cost of the newly announced CH 10 line.

Alon has CH in his listening room out west and just had his amps upgraded. Not Luxman.
In any case the “dry nonsense” has been espoused by only one person I know of and that’s you.
