| Integrated amp with tape out sub out Hegel has been a rock solid brand for us. I can totally understand not being able to listen to them though. | |
| Integrated amp with tape out sub out The three top Hegel integrated amps, the H190, H390 and H590 all have both fixed and variable analogue outputs. A lot of people like Hegel with the KEF LS50. | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? There are definitely getting to be more available. Bel Canto e1X and Black EX DACs both have Ethernet input. Disclosure: we're a Canadian Bel Canto dealer.Gold Note is another and there are more as well. But, still not very common at all. | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps There was a review by HifiCritic pitting the H390 against the Krell K-300i and the Mark Levinson 5805. Both are much more expensive than the Hegel, but in the review the Hegel easily came out on top. Disclosure: we're a Canadian Hegel dealer and I... | |
| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? A good phono preamp will definitely be worthwhile for MM cartridges as well. The best we've heard in the under $2K price point is the Vertere PHONO-1 MkII. | |

| Bel Canto DAC2.5 with Apple TV 4K Bel Canto products have always worked well with Logitech Harmony remotes. | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? Thanks for the extra information. Unfortunately, I'm not up on vintage speakers, so I'm unable to offer an opinion on either of those speakers. | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? What are your current speakers? Perhaps they're fine. The Adcom components won't do the Dynaudio speakers justice. In my opinion, unless your current speakers are really hurting, I'd upgrade to a quality integrated amp versus the old Adcom separates. | |
| Floor protection from spikes For a very reasonable price, we really like Soundcare Superspikes. They're a threaded spike with self contained footer. A really durable felt goes underneath the footer which makes it very easy to slide and reposition your speakers while keeping y... | |
| Bel Canto ref500 question The REF500M monos are a step up from the REF500S stereo amp, but it has been a long time since I've compared the two that I can't fully recall the differences. | |
| Bel Canto ref500 question Currently, they are only building the REF500S stereo amp. The REF500M have been discontinued for quite a while already. The more recent REF600M are quite a step up from the former REF500M. | |
| Moon by Simaudio, Arcam and Hegel: Quality of Customer and Technical Phone Support Sound quality and value for the money with the Hegel integrated amps is exceptional. However, feel free to take this with a grain of salt if you like as I'm a Hegel dealer in Canada. Depending on your speakers, the Hegel H120 could be a great fit.... | |
| Moon by Simaudio, Arcam and Hegel: Quality of Customer and Technical Phone Support Absolutely agree with cleeds. These are services to be provided by the dealer, not the manufacturer. |
