Hegel H200

I thought all of their equipment was high quality.

I listened to the Hagel amp, preamp and cd player.

The amp was built like a tank, all of the components were very clean in their design and all of the controls had a high quality tight feel.

I had never heard of Hagel and I wish there was more available so I could afford to buy used.

The sound was incredible and the dealer described it as SS with a bit of tube sound.

The only problem was I didn't have the $18500 list price to purchase.

My amp search led me to the Hegel H200 and two seperate auditions in my own system,thanks to a local dealer.

It is "very good" and highly recommended,especially at its price point.

My search ended when I auditioned the Hegel H4SE.

I was going to purchase an H200 unfortunately I didn’t have a nearby dealer and the distributor would not allow the dealer I wanted to buy from to sell to me so I bought something else instead. Aside from the distributor I was very impressed with both the H200 and H100. Very nice sounding units and well made. If you have a dealer nearby I can’t imagine being unhappy with it.

I owned the Hegel H100, excellent!
then I upgraded to the H200, unfortunately I was moved to another hospital during my anesthesia rotations and I have a very small place for a 200 watts amp, I have it for sale on Audiogone new, maybe i will regret by the time i finish the program but still a year to go.
Took me a while to get it black, great look.
Hegel is amazing gear, I am familiar with the brand for the last 5 years.

Looks like you run the Ayon CD5s with the H30. What do you like about the combo and compared to what other amp? Do you use the high or low gain setting? How hot does it run? I have the Ayon CD5s and am thinking about the Hegel H30. Did you hear the H30 compared to the H200 or H4SE Please PM if you rather. Thanks
