PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions

For starters you might want to visit (or revisit) the PS Audio web site. You can download the entire owner's manual from there, plus, there is an extensive write up on it. PS promises a lot with this unit.

I have read where some users experienced a constant, "hum which is not so bad when the music is playing".

Very versital unit! You can flip a switch to get the input you want and then even refine everything with a gain knob located on the front of the unit. The knob also serves as volume control if you wish to bypass all but your amp and run direct from TT to amp to speakers. Great feature.

I looked long and serious into the GCPH for myself since I believe in the PS Audio P500's I own (opted for Art Audio Vinyl One which I believe will better suite my needs). From my findings the GCPH offers a whole lot for the investment.

When I spoke to the folks at PS Audio and at a couple of distributors they said there is quite a backorder situation at this time due to very high demand. I found it can be purchased for $830 + shipping.

I am not sure why more is not covered in the discussion forums at A'Gon. I asked the same questions you have a month or so ago and got basically no input. I know some distributors and dealers have dropped the PS Audio line since PS has seemingly squeezed out the profit for them.

Tried to find where I read about the hum to no avail. I know I read it though but it was just a passing comment someone made within an otherwise glowing review (not professional review but on some blog). I would be very interested to know how you like the GCPH. It certainly intrigues me. And I find PS quality really second to none for the relatively reasonable investment.

markd51,
To download the manual go onto the PS Audio site and click into "Customer Care" where you will find Owner's Manuals and Instructions for all of the PS Audio equipment.

Short-Circuit,
I have the info at my office on the biz offering the GCPH over the internet for $830 + shipping. I will try to post it for you asap.

Mark & Short Circuit,
I cannot find the name of the internet business selling new, from the factory, not grade "B", GCPH units for $830 + shipping. I must have tossed the sheet I wrote on when I bought the Art Audio unit. This is real though. Scan the net and make some calls. I had to call to get the price. I could have ordered one that day with unit in their inventory expected within 20 to 25 days from PS Audio. I do not know if they offered 30-day test as I was not interested in that. Full factory warranty was included. If I locate this info I will post it.

I was so impressed with what I read that I finally purchased the GCPH. I'm auditioning it now. It has some stiff competition with 2 other units I have that retail for 3 times as much but so far it's in the running. More time will tell. My initial impression is in agreement with Output 555's comments. Impressive!
