| Opinions about Daniel Hertz In case some might misinterpret, the ML products discussed here and the ML products from Harman are completely different and separate. Harman’s new 5000 series ML componentry is designed by excellent, experienced engineers, the price is now afford... | |
| Ayre v Hegel sound Through personal comparisons I agree with posters who point out the firmer bass sound of the Hegel (I understand that Ayre uses lower global feedback which usually means less firmness in the bass). I also agree that the H590 is a superior Hegel pr... | |
| Dumping it all for Lyngdorf??? I have the LS50 Meta’s set up with the KEF KC62 sub and am using the Arcam SA30 integrated amp with built-in streaming. This $3300 amp has sound which is rich and pure. The overall system is knockout, not even considering the low price. | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... The Hegel H590 surpasses the H390 in the areas questioned, namely offering more leads ng edge transients and dynamic wow including the deep bass. | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and The Hegel is a solid meaty sounding unit. Among many stand out speakers, consider a look a the new Audio Physic Tempo 35. It is quality through and through, well balanced, and transparent in a rewardingly musical way. | |
| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? For what the OP is looking for I have found the Arcam SA30 to be an excellent unit. Real power, rich bass, and no-edge smooth highs. | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year I do read Stereophile. I do find objective statements that make sense. Also you learn particular reviewer's preferences and incorporate that filter in reading them, though a mag's reviewing guidelines help minimize the bias. Hearing equipment (bes... | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 The Reference 5 display speakers here benefit greatly from the Belden Iconoclast speaker cables, more than most other speakers. The cables open up the top end and extend and define the deep bass. This sounds like a narrow recommendation but it nai... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 Having the Monitor Audio PL 200 IIs in a system here has revealed them to be neutral, but not sterile. I find them to be great all-rounders. Several different speakers tested in the same system, and the MAs are well fleshed out while remaining ne... | |
| Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts) When I first read the initial info requester’s description of the sound he wanted. It sounded like a review of the H360 to me. We have coupled it with several systems and it has a consistent character of solid, appropriately prominent bass and upp... | |
| KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA? Personal experience with our own KEF Reference 5 display reveals them to be a touch on the mellow side, more than bright. The electronic chain ahead of them is a very neutral one. A speaker cable choice brought about a proper balance, along with... | |
| Add On For Streaming Meant to mention the HEOS Link does Bluetooth | |
| Add On For Streaming Nothing embarrassing about the Denon HEOS Link ($350) performance. Its DAC is fine but not not top level. But the HEOS Link used with coax digital out is a true bargain, sounds great. The HEOS music browser for phone or iPad is top drawer all the... |
