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.

Hmmm, I haven't read about folks discovering Hum, but have read one incident with hissing in one channel when set at 47K, and it was do to a solder trace being to close to the output stage on the circuit board. Supposedly, PS Audio has rectified the problem on new units.

With a 30 day in home trial, with full refund (minus shipping charges) there doesn't seem like much risk trying one. If it stomps my exisiting unit, it stays, and if it doesn't it goes back.

Perhaps not much written yet, as the Unit is still relatively new on the market? Mark

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.

Howdy Sit, I did go to the PS Audio Site, yet couldn't find any downloadable manuals of any kind.
Can you provide a link, or how to find these on the site? Thanks you, Mark

Where can you get it for $830 plus shipping?
