Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks

Awesome! That speaker sounds like its awesome. I think an all AGD system will be amazing, esp HE1. I feel he9 review is amazing preamp and he1 is likely better. Even the master 1 which is a step down from HE1 was in the same league as the far more costly CH precision.
Kingwa's R7HE Dac is really well regarded as being excellent so its worth considering. And also think about the AGD Di20HE digital interface that thing is amazing.

I asked for Kingwa's recommendation for a preamp to best match the 2-H's. I was leaning toward the Vacuum HE-1 but he recommended the solid state version. I didn't want to fool around with 10 tubes anyway. Apparently the power supply has been upgraded since this past June. Doesn't run as hot and a little quieter / clarity.

Frank do it man. He1 + 2H combo is going to be amazing. Ya I'd pass on the vacuum too. Too much of a hassle. Also for something coming from china you want to minimize the chances of something going wrong so you never have to send it back, so stick to SS.
Maybe ill grab the XA150 in a couple years.

Frank,
how did the gear turn out? I have on order the master 2-A and the he-1 pre. So excited but all I can do is read up on it while I wait...

@frankg you there ?
