    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Heard Taiko but different system and room so cannot comment. But as I said from my first post, I've had my Masterpiece for a few years and haven't had any urge to upgrade/change. It's absolutely a top tier server and the continual software upgrades from the company shows they take care of...

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Concur. Chan messaged me to say he had (secretly) updated my Masterpiece. Vocals are ooooooh so seductive. Even blacker background, vocals pop out in front of you. Lights off, eyes closed, a mini jazz concert in front of me :cool: This update is the most noticeable improvement over...

    Congrats Bryans. good to see a fellow user. that beefy power supply needs some time to run in. leave everything on 24/7. enjoy.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    agree with the quiet background. that's what I experienced as well. and re wait time. A lot of audio gear is being delayed as well as everything else. try buying a car now. 12+months wait for some models, it's crazy. I had to wait a while for mine too, but the important thing is it DID...

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    @VK-GR so what exactly was the mistake? did you run fibre optic into the server and it didn't sound good? I am planning to run fibre optic in my house (never tried it), so your past "mistake" would be useful for me later.

    Just a quick update for everyone. Chan from Pachanko's latest update is ace. Don't know what he did but I came bk from holiday and sat down sometime was sounding very "right". Had a good 2hr listening session. thanks Pachanko :)

    Good to see more and more users are finding this brand. Can't wait for more users to review and share their experiences. And as I said, if budget allows, go for the top model. Power is everything with digital :)

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    I have no urges to upgrade at all :) Chan from Panchanko has been doing periodic updates and fixes for me. Especially once when I had an internet/networking problem at home. that beefy power supply is worth the asking price and I reckon it takes it to another level in terms quietness and...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    I have both Sablon and Pachanko Ethernet. Both excellent value for what you get. In my system, Pachanko is a tad smoother and I have it connecting to my CH C1.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Everything's been running in for ~2months now, left on 24/7. and I am still totally satisfied with the SQ since adding the Pachanko. music just flows and I find myself glued to my listening chair for longer each night. (eg 2-3 hrs) whilst I cannot remember the exact improvements since day 1...

    C1+T1+X1 or C1 Mono or something else?

    Congrats. I had the EXACT combo of C1+T1+X1+M1.1 too. the transparency and detail will blow you away the CH was so good Irecently upgraded to M10 (stereo). which lifted it into the stratosphere :) for M1.1, remember to put a good power cord in BOTH 15A and 20A. not just 20A. and also...

    Sablon power cords

    I can confirm Mark's PC works magnificently with my CH M1.1. Adds a dose of musicality and smoothness to the already clean and fast sound of CH. one little trick I can share is that the massive Bocchino 20A plug sits a bit loose in the CH. Wrapping some teflon plumber's tape (to the desired...

    Optical Fibre Cable for Finisar FTLF1324

    anyone compared the Sonore (TP-link?) SFP+ Sonore branded optical cable vis Finisar SFP? for Sonore OM users, is it recommended to use their TPLink branded SFP rather than mix and match?

    My visit to CH Precision

    I guess for demanding speakers the better choice will be M1.1 monos rather than M10 stereo?? (apples to apples prices-wise)

    Antipodes CX+EX

    Apparently K50 is 'significantly' better than CX+EX combo. Looking forward to some proper comparisons.

    Share your experience with tweaks etc for your CH gear

    @JackD201 Thanks for the info @JackD201 re 15A section of the M1.1 . That explains a lot. I was testing another PAD Dominus PC i recently acquired and deciding which component to place it at. And surprisingly after an hour to swapping around it still ended up at the 15A section of my...

    Thanks guys for the reply. some very good tips and info here. several things I noted too: @rsorren1 my units are only a few months old so yes, latest HD card and firmware etc. I must say the customer support from Florian and the team is second to none. I have had experience with other hi-end...

    Hi all, Happy owner of C1+T1+X1+M1.1 (stereo). So far this has been one of the best SS sound I have managed in my room, and I have heard a lot of other SS systems which makes me wanna walk out after 10mins. I see there are quite a few active CH owners here, would love to hear your experience...
