Hegel H160 Integrated
digsmithd,Sweet indeed - yes they did but the sound compared to the outgoing H100 was more dynamic although compared to the H200 (is a warmer amplifier) the H160 is more "fluid" thanks to the newly designed preamplifier, out of the three i picked ...

Guys,There a few "quads" of reflector made 6L6WGC on ebay, essentially like Frogman said - they might be the "same thing" like the standard Sovtek 6L6WGC because both are made by the same plant.I am unsure if i can use the standard 6L6GC - i am so...

Xti16 - Indeed, i feel a music should be able to reproduce magic some aspect atleast for it to be declared "superior in every aspect" did not find that in magico the bass modules are better, but no insight to the music likethe D2.Back to Tube Disc... 
Hegel 80 with either KEF LS50 or KEF R300
