| Hegel H390 or NAD M33 for Bowers and Wilkins 802D2 speakers? I’ve had a NAD integrated and now own the H390. There is no comparison. H390 would be my choice. | |
| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? I love my Hegel H390. It is powering a pair of Focal Aria 936s and it sounds great! | |
| A Highly Unusual Topic! The only perfume that I’m concerned with whilst listening is the aroma of my Knob Creek wafting over the rim of my glass. | |
| Best route to go for new dac? I would definitely listen to a new dac purchase or buy from a source with a good return policy. I have been listening to dual Wolfson WM8740 chips and I love the sound they produce. I then purchased a Hegel H390 integrated with a AKM AK4490 chip a... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: Baylinor, I’m considering that one right now!! Adding on to my garage and making that exclusively a listening room. | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? The best show I ever saw was Mellencamp at Market Square Arena for the Lonesome Jubilee tour. The energy on stage and in the hometown crowd was amazing! We even taped the video for Check it Out that night. I get goosebumps thinking about it now. L... | |
| Too good a post to waste I have only recently waded into the cable swamp. I decided to try replacing my lamp wire with a set of budget cables. I purchased a set of Blue Jeans 5200UP speaker cables with locking banana ends and a pair of LC-1 RCA connector audio cables. I a... | |
| A question for those of you with the album Momentary Lapse of Reason Thanks decooney. I can hear it in the last several seconds of A New Machine. It’s on the left side of the sound stage. Then again during the opening seconds of Terminal Frost. I thought it was a defect in my tweeter. But I listened on head phones ... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only The Hegel H590 is 300wpc and $11k new. Open box around $8k. Reviews are very good. The H390 seems to be the better deal at 250wpc and the same dac and features. It is $6k, but it can be purchased closer to $5k. I recently upgraded from a NAD C388 ... | |
| I can prove your room is bad I love my GIK panels! Bass absorption behind each speaker, diffusion at first reflection and three 2’ square diffusion panels on the back wall behind the listening position. All are 4” thick. | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I cover my 55” tv with a thick blanket. I have a deeper sound stage when covered. My friends made fun of this obviously ridiculous pre listening ritual and I defended it with a couple of friends and a test removing and returning the blanket in a b... | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 651C vs Azur 851C That’s what I like about the 651C. It is smoother than my other DAC. Thank you for the input! | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. I recently purchased a new Hegel H390 for $4800.00. It is a very good product. Compares very well to the $11k H590, in fact, a lot of the electronics are shared. | |
| The Forest for the Trees asctim...that’s what I do. I’ll get bored and start trying some of the suggestions I read on here. Sometimes I find something that really helped. | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world I'm sure Amazon loves this type of thread. I always log on and order three or four of the titles I see in them. This one was no different. I listened to a few of the songs from Mahavishnu Orchestra and now I have two albums on the way. |
