Advice on Integrated Receiver

@bound4h looking at it from another angle, you get a very nice phono stage with the Luxman amp that will be good enough until you are ready to upgrade. Something that isn’t included with the H390. If you can swing it, get the luxman although like I said earlier, the Luxman might just borderline for the B&Ws as far as power is concerned. It should sound great though, regardless. 

@bound4h if you can get there Luxman is an excellent pairing, IMHO. I didn't realize the Hegel had no phono input. Definitely a deal breaker for many.  

As stated I use 509x with an older MA silver, the equiv of the 200 today. I do have a sub but even before that my ears said no mas long before this amp ran out of juice. Here’s what I consider an EXCELLENT description of the sound I get, lifted from a review that is accurate to this day.

For argument and sake of reference point, if you were to put Boulder amplifiers (and we still had the 1100 series here for comparison) as straight-up natural at 12 o’clock – adding nor subtracting nothing, with no sense of added tonal saturation, our reference Pass XS Pre/XA 200.8 is probably at about 10:30. With going to the left a bit on the warm/saturated side. The Luxman 900 series was about 11:30, with our tube references the PrimaLuna EVO 400 and VAC i170 coming in at about 9:00 and 9:30. I’d put the recent Esoteric integrated about 12:30 – slightly to the cold side, and the last few Simaudio amplifiers we’ve reviewed about 1:00 – even more clinical. The L-509x, like it’s larger separates has that same touch of warmth/saturation, without being slow or non-resolving.

To me that 11:30 reference (slightly warm but still very accurate) is the goldilocks of sound.

Thank you for that.   I did purchase the Lehmann Audio Black Box SE II so I’m hoping that’s sufficient if I bypass the phono on the Lux
