| To loom or not to loom? In over 30 years as an audiophile, I've always had a mix of different brands of cables in my systems. Never all one brand. This method works best for me. For example: Here's the mix of cables that I currently am using with incredible results ... | |
| Just FYI: Tidal is consolidating their HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers What about those of us who anted up for a lifetime subscription a few years ago? How will these new changes effect us? | |

| AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound? Recently, I was extremely fortunate to find a seller who was willing to part with his pre-owned, 1.5 meter, JPS Labs Aluminata power cable for just over a third of it's retail price. I use the absolutely incredible Aluminata PC on my Hegel H590 i... | |

| Cable upgrades A safe bet. All around Reference SQ. Not insanely priced new= Audioquest Pegasus XLR. A hidden jewel!!! Phenomenal sound for the money, especially if you can find a pair used. | |
| Interconnects Audioquest Earth XLR would be excellent, very reasonably priced, amazing sounding, interconnects for your application. And you not feel the need to ever upgrade from there. Buy used and save to make it all that much sweeter. | |
| Power cable Advice... Audioquest Thunder and up the Audioquest line from there. I have two different brands of PCs in my system (Audioquest and JPS Labs). I have JPS Labs speaker cables and Audioquest interconnects. They all work together to create pure magic. | |
| Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200 No brainer........Audioquest Thunder High Current!!! | |
| What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific) I love my Hegel H590 integrated amp strictly as an amp/preamp. I never even considered using the H590s internal DAC. Sure, I thought the H590s internal DAC sounded lovely when I auditioned it, but I knew that I could do better with a higher-end ... | |

| Hegel comparison @bigtwin Your point is well taken. I’m sure that if there were no other options, I could live happily ever after with the H590s or the H600s internal DACs, because on their own merits, they do sounds quite outstanding. Heck, for years and years, w... | |
| Hegel comparison @bigtwin No, I never used, nor did I ever intended on using the internal DAC of my H590. I never us the internal DACs that come with any component. I've invested in a great deal into a stand-alone, reference caliber DAC that I believe to be s... | |
| Hegel comparison I'm a Hegel H590 owner who just recently had an opportunity to have an extended listening session with the new H600 (I use a separate external DAC) . I can tell you that based on just the amp/preamp sections of the two, I didn't hear a significan... |
