hegel 590. It brings a smile to my face every time I turn it on and I turn it on every day.
yes!
yes!
besides my sphinx i also use a NAD 316 upstairs with some old dynaco speakers (another technics 1200, a lower end nakamkchi and a little ifi bluetooth receiver as sources). this is the system my wife & kids use every day. i usually have it on for an hour or two myself after work while i do chores, cook dinner etc. very sweet sound, this system is obviously not the last word in resolution or dynamics but the amp, especially, is stupid cheap for what you get, and if i find some sticky fingerprints on it from time to time that's just part of the fun |
Bought a Technics SUG700 here a year or so ago. The amp is beautiful both in looks, and sound or lack thereof, zero noise I mean dead silent running. The amp is very good but the companies Panasonic and it’s subsidiary Technics totally suck when it comes to service! While I did not need any I wanted to find out more about the amp’s capabilities not listed in the manual. The thing is you cannot get thru to anyone in either company, email addresses in the manual don’t work or you get a recording sending you to an email that does not work. So failing to get thru to Technics I called the parent company and had the same results. Though I was able to leave a message on one email address but never got a response. Because of this total lack of support, I would avoid anything to do with either operation’s product line regardless of how well made. Highly unrecommended. |
Main system - Switch between Line Magnetic 518IA (845 output tubes) and a Finale Audio 7189 MK2 (7189A/EL84M output tubes). (Also have Modwright separates in this system which I switch to) 2nd System - Ayon Audio Spirit 2 (KT88 output tubes) When I first got into integrated amps I had a couple of SS ones, a Portal Panche and a Plinius 8200; then when I decided to give tubes a try I had a Quest for Sound, a Consonance and a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum |
@izjjzi you'll be very happy with your new Macintosh MA12000, it took them almost four months to deliver my order, but it was worth waiting! |
