| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 I purchased the Gryphon Diablo 120 with the optional DAC for my Magico A3s. I did not demo the Hegel 360 or 590, which I had hoped I could do before making my decision. I really liked the T+A 3100, but it was beyond my budget. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Very funny! As events would have it, I purchased a Gryphon Diablo 120 from Suncoast Audio. Mike has been great! | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Quatro ct which do you choose? I owned the Quatro woods (not CT) and loved them. However, when I heard the Treo CT I thought the new CT tweeter was a big improvement. and wanted to upgrade to the Quatro Woods CT. However, the upgrade is not available. I upgraded to the 5a Carbo... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @jackd Unfortunately, AI had to cancel my trip to Boston. Maybe I can reschedule sometime soon.I agree with the value proposition of a used Hegel 360. At $12k, the Hegel 590 is more than the Gryphon Diablo 120 and Constellation Inspiration Integr... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @soix Yes, but T+A does not agree.@steve59. @steve59. Thanks for your comment about the DAC. I would really like to hear the H590 to compare with the other integrated amps. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Thanks, jackd. Will do. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 I was concerned about the demo T+A 3000. Good price, but no factory warranty. Pass.... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Thanks, jackd. I will be in Boston on business for several days next week and will try to visit the audio shop. @smer319. I agree. Unfortunately, the demo 3100 still is beyond my price range. I will consider the 3000. Thank you for your post and o... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @Jackd. I'm on the East Coast. I had heard of the Aesthetix Mimas integrated before your post. I have a problem with the heat generated by tube equipment because it must go inside a console without a lot of ventilation, so the Aesthetix probably ... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Thanks, htan8744. I saw the demo Constellation Inspiration amp and pre-amp on the Audio Advisor website and was very tempted, However, the combination still is beyond my budget. I spoke today to the dealer and when I visit we are going to demo the... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Any thoughts regarding the Gryphon Diablo 120? It's less expensive than the Diablo 300, seems like it would have sufficient power for the Magico A3s and is in my price range. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 In the July/August issue of the absolute sound, page 46, the column regarding the most significant introductions at Axpona 2018 states that the price of the Vitus RI-101 is US$18,360. The SCD-025mk.II CD player is US$25,200. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Oh no! I need to backtrack. I spoke to the dealer, who insists that I also listen to the Gryphon Diablo 300 (which he says has an even better bottom end than the T+A 3100) and the Luxman 509 before I decide. He also carries Ayre, Bryston and Pass,... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @ricred1 . I could not agree more. I did have an opportunity to hear the T+A 3100 with the A3s and I liked what I heard. I am sure that the dealer's listening room was a much better environment to hear the setup than any audio show. However, it's ... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Thanks, guys. I am going to try to get a deal on the T+A 3100 or 3000. It's really a shame that I will not have an opportunity to hear the A3s with the Hegel H360 or 590. Same for the new as yet unreleased Belles Virtuoso, which gets lots of love ... |
