@jer rhanks for the recommendation on the Gold Note. Will audition them.
All in One amp up to $7k
Hi, needed some advice.
Looking for an all in one amplifier- including streaming. Had earlier settled on and bought a Hegel 590 - but could not ship it to Dubai from the US, sold it to a friend of mine.
Any recommendations? In the $5k-$7k range? At least 150w into 8 Ohms.
I had looked at Gold Note- but not completely sure. PS Audio Stellar Strata MK2 fits the bill though not sure how good it is.
Also though I didn’t listen to the Hegel H590 I have this feeling that it would have been awesome.

@billynine been there done that with Naim. Though I loved it, just want to try something new. |
I’ve known about Devialet Brand for a few years - all rave reviews. I finally bought a used one, Expert Pro 220. First take, a very puzzling set-up, my speakers turns out is not in the configurator. The home web site doesn’t display the 220, it’s been hidden. After 2 days and multiple phone calls it’s now playing music — not very loud though, I have no idea why 220 watts are unable to really goose the volume for Magnepan, .7. For this transaction I traded in my Jeff Rowlands100 watt ( 8 ohms ). The Jeff Rowland was superior in power into 4 ohms at 150 watts (4 ohm load ) and an untouchable midrange. I errored in this one transaction . I have no idea how 100s of reviewers did not pick up on these points. Sound is limp. Now I hear of promoting a companion amp to boost the power, simply incredible! Caution: the ring maybe fake diamonds after all. |
