CH Precision electronics

Hello Deep

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked at it and I can see they have addressed common ground mode noise and its effect of sensitive audio 0V . I still use Yamaha NS10 speakers mostly because of their magical crossover in the midrange. I will look further into this C5000 line stage. Can the equalizer or tone controls be shut off? The preamp probably has some gain in it, this is why they offer attenuation on the balanced inputs and outputs. I am sure it's a very transparent preamp, it might lack the resolution of the CH gear, If you care to share your findings on the sound of this line stage, I would love to hear it.

I want to make something very clear to anyone posting reply's to my comments. First and foremost, my sonic journey is what I am passionate about. Therefore, I have NO emotion to a piece of gear I might use. If there is something better, I am all over it.. 

For my enduring research, I believe in the collective synergy of multiple opinions in my journey. So therefore, I have NO ego or never need to be right. I am true to the ART and journey seeking the best "reference", (since I make a living mixing artists music) .To be honest the artist tells me when the mix is done.  there feedback and them re-hiring me to mix their music is some form perspective, if I am going in the right direction. Some of the artists  I mix for have unlimited budgets. They REALLY want the best. There Utube video's cross well over billions of views, so they are getting paid. 

So one can understand for me this is a business and of course a total passion. I get to work with superstars, and craft their sound. There are producers involved and making there productions sound better than they ever heard, including  their beats and music is what keeps my journey so exciting.  

After auditioning so many line stages, and I have not heard them all, so far, the CH is killing it.. But if anyone has any other better recommendations, PLEASE share. Thank You   Audio

Well I pulled the trigger and bought the CH Precision M10 amplifier. I must say every review and overall comments I have read about the amplifier is pretty much spot ON. I mean the amp is essentially colorless, high resolution, not glarey, with a touch of warmth. The mixes I have been able to create using the L1 and CH M10 are the best mixes I have ever done in my life. VERY 3D. I am Very excited!! If you're looking for extreme neutrality, transparent sound, I can't recommend enough.. If you want color and tonality that is not in the source or heavier bass weight, it's not the amp. It could be considered a bit lean, but actually it has a very transparent low end. If I don't hear enough bass in the room while I am mixing, then there needs to be more bottom put on the mix. In other words the amp IS accurate. Hopefully my experience will help someone else choose or not choose this amplifier.  Definitely next level signal handling

I wouldn’t rush into this, or make a rash, spontaneous decision! Give it a few more decades. 

Kidding aside, your recording studio as described seems like it is amazing!

I'd love to hear what kind of cables have you experimented with.
