The Strength Behind the Music

Power supply design has always been central to CH Precision’s engineering philosophy. Every unit we create incorporates sophisticated local regulation, ensuring that sensitive analog and digital stages receive clean, stable voltage. But as with so many aspects of musical reproduction, refinement comes from degrees—not absolutes. By moving the supply into its own chassis, the X1 removes the mechanical and electrical constraints of an integrated design, creating space for massively over-specified transformers, discrete regulation stages, and extensive filtering. The result is an abundant reservoir of power, ready to respond instantly and without hesitation to the demands of the music.

​

This scale matters. Where many manufacturers rely on compact, off-the-shelf solutions hidden inside their components, CH takes the opposite approach: oversize, overbuilt supplies that place stability above convenience. The X1 embodies that difference. Its ultra-low-noise linear architecture not only delivers pristine DC, it also partners seamlessly with the regulation already present inside each connected unit. Working together, the two layers of protection suppress noise to vanishing levels and enhance voltage stability far beyond what either could achieve alone. The impact is not abstract: it is heard as greater transparency, speed, tonal color, and a more intimate connection to the music.
