HEGEL 190, 390-400, 590-600


What would make the 600 sound better than the 400 and better than the 190. Is it the higher power? Better parts? - Considering only Preamp and Amp section (ignoring the DAC) and assuming not crazily inefficient or large speaker - for argument sake a Harbeth 7 XD .... would one be able to A/B/C correctly and crown the 600 over 400 and 400 over the 190? I always wondered about it - never had the pleasure to audition the upper level - would love to hear real life experience. -Thx

But Perplexity in particular is for exactly this type of comparison. It’s an LLM enabled search product. 
 

if he came here and said Claude put this together, I’d have concerns. But as a daily user of this technology having a knee jerk reaction and subsequent analysis using vague terms means we’ll be blindsided by the tech when it is the standard. I recall when Wikipedia was thought to be garbage.
