new PS Audio GCPH - a bit bright / harsh

Posted by JeffO (A) on March 12, 2012 at 04:32:12

I have a brand new PS Audio GCPH and wanted to see if what I am experiencing is expected and will soon alleviate itself with break in.

System:

Rega RP3
Dynavector DV20xL
Musical Fidelity A300
Vandersteen 2CE

The GCPH replaced a Pro-ject Tube Box SE MkII. Although the tube box was good, it was to me lacking in the high end detail.

I have had the GCPH for two weeks, having received brand new and powered on for one week prior to use. I have since used for about 20 hours.

The sound is a bit harsh and strident, with maybe a bit less bass then I had expected.

The tonearm rides slightly tail down as I use a 2mm spacer on the RP3, so that should not be the issue.

My question is, will the GCPH ultimately even out in sound or is this a bad match for my system?

Thanks

If there is a setting for 40-50 Ohms, try that. I have a 20XL, - Opus 104 10:53:53 03/12/12 (1)
