Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
Simonmorty, my apologies for not responding to you last month. I did not compare the H100 to the H200. I compared it to the Ayre AX7 and Luxman l505u. I loved them all but the Hegel worked out best for me at the time. I would have been happy with ... 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
I was in this situation last year. I looked and listened to everything on your list plus the Luxman l-505u and I ended up with the Hegel H200. I can't stand the looks of it but wow does it sound right. For me. 
Headphones and Hearing Loss
I agree with Kijanki. Sennheisers are so nice to listen too and so comfortable. I only own AKG K702's and would NOT recommend them for your father. I do however have a son with the Sennheiser 650 I believe to be the model. They are fantastic. 
What time do you wear?
Thanks Roxy. I always wanted an automatic that I could hand down to one of my boys. One of them really likes watches so he can have this one when I kick. We like to travel so the dual time aspect of the watch will make it fun on our next trip. 
What time do you wear?
I just bought a Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT auto. My intention was to buy a Hamilton Intramatic. My local dealer didn't have one with a bracelet so I decided I'd order one. I asked the guy which bracelet would come on the watch and he handed me the GM...

That's a big Marriott. I stayed there about 5 years ago while working in Dumbo. 
How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies?
I have a few questions about Ohm Walsh Talls. How sensitive are these speakers to placement near a rear wall? Do they require more than say 18"? How about the sweet spot, is it large, meaning do I have to break out a tape measure to position my ch... 
Audiophile music
This is a very vague question. A lot of audiophiles actually are hard core music aficionados. Then again some listen to certain tracks of so-called audiophile music. It really doesn't matter either way. If you struggle to find music to listen to f... 
Herbie Hancock best recordings
I asked a question years ago about great piano recordings. I was introduced to Herbie Hancock 'The Piano' and it is absolutely amazing. Google search this release but understand that Wikipedia doesn't give you much information at all. This was a d... 
Speaker grills
On. Can't hear a difference and they look much better. 
Can the Hegel H300 compare to the Ayre AX-5?
I replied to your earlier post but I'll reply here as well. Nobody will be able to answer this question. I own a Hegel H200 and I liked it better than the Ax-7 and Ax-5 but that was in my system. I've heard both Ayre's sound better than my system.... 
Can the Hegel H300 outperform the Ayre AX-5?
I've heard both and it's without a doubt personal preference in your environment. I actually ended up with a Hegel H200 over the Ax-7 and Ax-5. I heard both the 7 and 5 sound better than my Hegel, but not at my house with my other components. The ... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
I had mentioned early on in this thread that if you walk in, I'm sure a large percentage end up buying if they didn't intend on buying. Cajunpepe did this the same thing with 300k worth of Audi's. (Good man. Never liked the bimmers and I did own o...
