PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions

Mark & Short Circuit,
I cannot find the name of the internet business selling new, from the factory, not grade "B", GCPH units for $830 + shipping. I must have tossed the sheet I wrote on when I bought the Art Audio unit. This is real though. Scan the net and make some calls. I had to call to get the price. I could have ordered one that day with unit in their inventory expected within 20 to 25 days from PS Audio. I do not know if they offered 30-day test as I was not interested in that. Full factory warranty was included. If I locate this info I will post it.

Mark - If you want to read about the hum one user was experiencing, do a Google search for PS Audio GCPH - you'll find it! Fred

The hum issue you're discussing is from only one poster. The problem seemed to be specific to his rig and set up because the good folks at PS Audio took the unit back and couldn't duplicate the problem.

I have been test driving the GCPH the past 30 days and find it VERY impressive. Compares quite favorably with much higher-priced units. It's extremely well-thoughtout and solidly built. Balanced outputs, too! For a retail price of under $1,000 it's a great bargain.

The way to get it for $830 is to buy a B-stock unit from the PS Audio website. B-stock means nothing, these units are usually brand new or barely used by a dealer. You still get a full warranty.

Personally, I think the GCPH is a winner and shows that PS Audio understands how make audiophile-quality gear at sensible prices.

I was so impressed with what I read that I finally purchased the GCPH. I'm auditioning it now. It has some stiff competition with 2 other units I have that retail for 3 times as much but so far it's in the running. More time will tell. My initial impression is in agreement with Output 555's comments. Impressive!

I have been very interested in this unit as others of you are. It has such a great set of features. I'm anxious to hear your reports of how it sounds and compares to other well-known phono stages, such as the EAR.
