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

Please dont use AI for observations on sound quality or any product comparisons for that matter. Its called LLM (Large Language Model) for a reason. 1. Limitations of Reasoning 2. Limitations of Expertise 3. Limitations of Understanding 4. Limitations of planning and execution. We are several years away from being able to quote LLM's as a reference. They are just language models masquerading as intelligence. Not to mention their penchant for "hallucinating" and making up facts and observations to suit the question. |
@alexbpm, Give me a break. The info from the AI was interesting but I never said it was accurate or that you should 100% reply on its answer for all the reasons you mentioned above. Everyone on this forum knows that you have to listen to a component preferably in your own system in order to make a decision. Obviously, no AI, or anyone else can make the decision of what component you should purchase. You have to make that decision yourself. |
