| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Hegel | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers I own a tekton and have spent time with super high efficiency and expensive horns (but not klipsche). I find them all very forward sounding like hearing music out of a pa speaker. Not my cup of tea. | |
| how do you compare the hegel h80 to rogue sphinx v2??? Give them both a listen and let us know. They should be pretty different sounding so it maybe a matter if you want the tube or ss sound. | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? I always try to support good local dealers when you can find them. In the long run they can save you money by offering good advice and sometimes can link you with great deals on trade ins from other customers. But many dealers aren’t great and hav... | |
| should I go with the rega brio or schiit vidar All good ideas. Consider also the used Hegel h80s which are going for very good prices now. They have balanced ins which sounds great. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I think upgraded old amps sound as good as new ones. Regarding the future direction of amps, my prediction is the biggest innovation will be the widespread use of battery power as cars and phones drive the development of battery power. | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? If you mean live music that is amplified like rock music, then the live sound you hear may be from the PA system which gives it a very forward, often one dimensional sound. Also the reverberation may affect the sound (many greatful dead recordings... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? I moved from lore s to tannoy. Very happy with tannoy. | |
| Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 Good question I am interested as well. I have only heard the Hegel once at a store and it was great in particular with the balanced outs. I would suggest to read carefully the warranty information as CD players can break. My impression is that Bry... | |
| Magnepan 1.7i vs. 3.6 Consider if you will add a sub or not as that might influence your selection. The Hegel Maggie is a great match. | |
| Streaming Services - do they do everything? I live in a country where tidal is not available and have been using Deezer premium. I’m pretty sure it does everything you mention and the interface and selection is excellent - I listen to a very wide range of music from jazz to classical, opera... | |
| Integrated amp match for Zu Soul Superfly You might consider you speakers first. Are you committed to them? They are great speakers but tend to match with a particular type of amp - usually a set or vintage I think. If you want something with a remote, Dac and phono perhaps there are som... | |
| Integrated amp match for Zu Soul Superfly Good idea on the vintage. I wonder if a Croft would work well for Zu. It’s a very neutral sounding amp. | |
| What's the Best Bluetooth Streaming Receiver w Dac under $500? I would go with a cheap Yamaha. The key is to get one of their stereo receivers not the home theater one. They manage to get the nice yammy sound even in their low cost units. Plus they look really nice. Crutchfield has some Bluetooth stereo rece... | |
| What's the Best Bluetooth Streaming Receiver w Dac under $500? Rereading your email I guess you are looking for a streamer with an amp - the node isn’t an amp so you would need an amp or to run it with powered speakers or the bluesound speakers. |
