| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? unless the room is pretty small or you like to listen quite softly, 300b is ruled out cav 45 vs rocket88 a matter of taste, both are on the tubey, rich slow side, treble will be sweet, midrange will be luscious, but bass will be bloomy and little... | |

| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? op as usual, scott (@verdant) provides good input i would only say additionally that in my travels, i can confirm that maggies are one brand of speaker (atc from the uk being the other) that are seemingly modestly priced speakers, but they are t... | |

| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided i know this is a discussion forum with mainly bored geezers entertaining themselves sipping coffee with background music, but let’s be serious for a minute how do you get information and advice on anything if it is really important to you? first... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and i would only say, to what troy posted below, that in my experience owning and comparing the 190, 390 and 590 units, that the 390 and 590 played music with a noticeably more refined, and laid back treble response, and with even more command/richnes... | |
| Different R2R DACs just a word to the wise on getting too caught up in dac architectures as a proxy for what a unit sounds like - it is 100% a fool's game there are r2r dacs that are forward, there are delta sigma dacs that are absolutely pure and musical sounding,... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and My understanding is that the new 390 is essentially the same as the top dog 590. depends on how one defines ’essentially’ -- useful information on the differences (but bear in mind their findings are using the dac + amp sections of each u... | |
