| Hegel hum? As the OP I offer thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I’ve never spent this much on a stereo component and was hoping for some assurance that nothing was amiss. From now on I’ll resume my listening position and enjoy the music. | |
| Hegel hum? I should have also mentioned in my first post that the hum is not coming from the speakers. In fact, when I turn the volume up and pause the music, I hear nothing out of the speakers. It's the h400 that has a slight, even tiny hum. When I look beh... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Looks or power? I love the looks of the Yamaha AS3200. It’s beautiful and reminds me of a Yamaha integrated I owned way back in the 80s. I went looking to upscale the power for my Maggie’s recently but power wise the Yamaha wouldn’t do the job. I ... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Have you considered a Hegel h400 or a Michi x3? | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? I have to say this has been one of the most entertaining topics I’ve heard in a long time! | |
| Top 10 Live Albums @wharfy - You got it! Lots of good stuff on there not to mention the horn section. | |
| Top 10 Live Albums A lot already covered however: Taj Mahal - The Real Thing Jackson Browne - Running on Empty | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Is Deep Purple considered heavy metal? If so Lazy’ on Machine Head is my nominee. Agreeing with the poster above that Deep Purple might have given the genre a kick start. | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s Thanks again for everyone's comments and suggestions. At this point I'm preparing to go to the store for a comparison listen and have narrowed it down to three integrated amplifiers. There's Mcintosh's MA9500, Hegel's H400, and Bryston's Bi200. ... | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s Thanks for everyone’s thoughtful responses. Crustycoot and Secretguy, that’s an idea that’s been rattling around in my brain (upgrading my Maggie’s) and would be less expensive than a new amp. Here’s where my ignorance shows however. I remember b... | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 What do you use for a pre amp? | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps Just wondering about hybrid integrated amps like Macintosh MA352. Does that represent a best of both worlds solution? Or is that more of a gimmick? | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. The Who - Who’s Next Taj Mahal - The Real Thing Charles Mingus - Ah Um Rosanne Cash - The River and The Thread Procol Harum - A Salty Dog Jimmy Buffett - A1A Grateful Dead - American Beauty MUSICAL BLISS!!! | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song Kudos to UZJ100 for nominating McGuiness Flint’s - When I’m Dead and Gone. I found it on Qobuz and heard it for the first time since high school 1970! Unfortunately it became an earworm and I found myself humming the chorus all day until I went to... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Because my better-half insists on having a land line telephone number we’re using the standard Xfinity rented modem with voice for 400 mb service. Is anyone in a similar situation who has purchased a modem with voice that they’re happy with? |
