Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord Power cord


Category: Cables

CH Technologies is owned by Craig Hampel in Champaign, Illinois. I've known Craig for about four years. At the time, Craig was working for Geoff Poor in Geoff's audio shop. Geoff is a partner in BAT (Balanced Audio Technology).

I hadn't seen Craig for about a year when I sold my Wadia 581se CD Player to an Audiogoner also living in Champaign, Illinois. He told me that Craig had perfected his cable line and was now selling them. Dale's system sounded really good and Dale suggested that I try them. I was pretty busy and never got around to giving Craig a call.

Then about four months later, I sold my HRS SX rack to another Audiogoner in Champaign, Illinois. Tom has a Wadia 781i CD Player like I have, and he said that he was also using CH Technologies cables. He told me that I should call Craig and give them a try. This time I did.

Craig sent me two X15 power cords and one set of X10 interconnects and one set of X20 interconnects. They took me completely by surprise! After all of the power cords and interconnects I've had ranging from $1,500.00 to $5,000.00, none do what Craig's power cords and interconnects do in my system.

The CH Technologies power cords and interconnects are the closest cables I've ever heard that don't have a sound at all. I heard more of music than I've ever heard coming out of my system, and it flows in the most natural state I've ever heard. I hear more minute details because it's so quiet. Along with this, those details seem to make every instrument sound more authentic than I've ever heard it in my system.

If you're looking to get closer to your music than you ever have before, I'd strongly recommend sendng Craig an email. Here's the email address of CH Technologies: c.hampel@comcast.net

KM,

This cable has left me speechless. Are the SC's as good as the AC cables?
6355,

I don't need your feedback anymore. I have heard 1st hand with a 20amp 20X on my ASR Emitter. No word change from the praise already posted in this thread.

I owe Chuck a big fat steak for this one.
6355,

Did you do your shoot out? Seems like both are dead in the water.

Nice review Chuck and would like to hear a AC cable for my ASR Emitter 1 amp.
No more DMitri. Can get a Crown for 1K and A/B it with a Crystal Cable Ultra.
6355,

You are killing us Dude!!

Got a X20 20amp coming to run my ASR Emitter amp. Right now is the Cystal Cable Ultra. Willet you know how it does next to the Ultra.

What is inside the X20 and what brand ends are used? Thinking about their SC if the X20 is any good.
Chuck,

You are the MAN!!

Got the X20 on the ASR. So no words on the sound as you know what I am hearing LOL. We don't want the urinators pissing on my positive thoughts on this cable so very few words here.

Thanks so much for this review and your time to write it.

Gary
I will when Dale ships it to me to hear it first like he did the digital Power Bridge. Forking over 3.8K for one AC cable is crazy $$$ without hearing it first.

X20/X30 can be demoed first correct?
