The P10 phonostage amplifier joins the benchmark Ch Precision L10 and M10 amplifiers, quickly establishing themselves as the new high-end performance benchmark. The P10 phonostage followed the P1 phonostage, which reviewers and end-users have long recognized as the benchmark for phono performance.
Adopting the twin-chassis configuration standard for all 10 Series products introduces an all-new circuit topology and other practical and performance innovations, making the P10 an extremely quiet component. Listed are what makes the P10 so unique.
- Twin-chassis design with massive, dedicated power supply and ultra low noise-floor.
- All-new circuit with three separate gain stages to reduce noise.
- Two-stage passive EQ.
- Four independently configurable XLR/RCA phono inputs.
- Two trans-impedance current sensing MC inputs.
- Two conventional, fully discrete, voltage sensing MC/MM inputs.
- Higher gain and finer gain adjustment, with 3dB steps rather than the 5dB increments on the P1.
- The same user selectable local/global feedback setting introduced on the L10.
- Unprecedented range and precision of loading options on voltage inputs.
- Seven optional EQ curves for EMI, Columbia (LP), Decca (London), Teldec (DGG), NARTB/NAB, Capitol (AES) and Philips.
- Improved user interface, including handy IR remote control for all main functions (and switching EQ).
- Improved cartridge gain/loading wizard to aid set up.
