| 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... | |

| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. @james633 My beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers are just one of a plethora of absolutely wonderful speakers out there all over the place that I could be very happy with for a very long time and the Klipsch Jubilee is just one of them. Also, the bass ... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice @christianb5s4 I can't tell how wonderful it feels for me to have found the perfect speakers in my audio journey (Revel Salon 2 speakers). Now, I can just layback with a sense of satisfaction and contentment, and enjoy them for years to come wi... | |
| 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... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I believe that todays high-end speakers are grossly overpriced in general and especially Borresen's upper tier speakers. Although I do believe that Borresen's entry level line of speakers do represent great value for the money. Borresen does mak... | |
| Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice Without question, the Revel Salon 2 speakers would be an upgrade over your Kanta 3 speakers, which I've had the opportunity to hear on a couple of occasions. The Salon 2s are considered by many, including myself, as an end-game, reference calibe... | |
