| 2 weeks and the new Hegel H390 is sounding better and better Robert Harley wrote a nice piece about the listening room he built a year or two ago.https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/building-a-listening-room/Maybe you can glean some useful info from this article. Happy listening! | |
| Harbeth 40.2A - LFD NCSE Mk3 and Hegel H590 Compared @bassdude I have yet to listen to the onboard DAC. I'm sure it is good, but I just bought a new Holo Audio May DAC and am completely in love with it. It's not that I'm afraid to hear the Hegel DAC, I simply don't believe that it will sound as go... | |
| Upgrading to a Hegel H590 I recently bought the H590 to match with my Harbeth 40.2 Anniversary speakers and am extremely happy with this combo. I've heard several amps with these speakers and this is the most satisfying combo to my ears. There are many other great amps o... | |
| The Grateful Dead tune that would still make for a great James Bond Theme Song Good one! | |
| Upgrade my tone arm? I've been using a Tri-Planar with Lyra Kleos for a couple of years now and could not be happier. You might find that upgrading both the tonearm and cartridge to be well suited to each other is a better way to go, but you'll never know until you'v... | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke Parasound makes awesome stuff. I have the JC3+ and have yet to find anything that sounds better.As for the made in Taiwan thing... I spent 20 years in the bicycle industry working for a medium sized bicycle manufacturer. We had our frames manuf... | |
| Lemons are an actual thing in high-end audio I found your post very interesting, as I too have had several "lemons" from a wide variety of manufacturers over the past 25 years. I don't mind naming brand names, but in more than half of the cases the manufacturer made right on the problem is ... | |
| Sport Court as Listening Room? Ultimately my listening room goal for our next house is NOT to make it look like a listening room. I want to have a sofa and some comfy chairs in a space that sounds really good but isn't a "chamber" for listening. I have several friends who are... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC JC, I started my listening using RCA interconnects, but a couple of weeks ago I got a new amp that has balanced inputs so I switched to XLR cables. I think the sound got even better. Just thought I'd share in case you hadn't heard the difference... | |
| Sport Court as Listening Room? You guys might be right. Our current house has a living room ceiling that's tall (about 13 feet). I've set my system up in this room before and loved the sound. Always assumed I wasn't doing it right but figured that if it sounded good, why not... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC That's an impressive music server you've built. Thanks for sharing | |
| Vinyl collection, now what? @hleeid I'm not familiar with that preamp but upon looking at the specs online it seems to be pretty high end. As I understand there is an option to add a phono board to it. If you already own this preamp you will need to know which board it has... | |
| Vinyl collection, now what? @hleeid $2-3K for a turntable with decent cartridge is indeed a good place to start. If you can add $500-1000 for a good preamp as well you'll be hearing that music as it was meant.That's where I STARTED, LOL. I love the vinyl sound so much I'v... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jcarcopo Congrats on getting a new May DAC. I am also loving mine. It's not even broken in yet but sounds amazing. What is your main source feeding it? | |
| Just bought a Hegel H390 Integrated @cal91 I agree. Divorce is not funny. But the OP's experience is his to share and I respect him for that. Self deprecating humor is OK for me, so I don't take offense. I am happily married but also know how hard it is to be married to someone... |
