(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio

@krymer2 I can't compare the Hegel sound against the other two amps as I have not heard them.  Hegel states their mission is to add nothing to the sound with their amps and I suggest they hit the mark.  I have owned the H390, H590 and not the H30s.  I also own a pair of TRX-M845 tube mono blocks from Triode Audio of Japan.  50 Watts per side Class A.  I struggle to hear any difference in sound between the H30 and the Triode.  I have read reviews of the H30 that claimed the sound was close to tube amps.  The reviewers words.  I don't know that you achieve much be changing your amps.  PS makes good equipment and I've never really bought into the whole idea that one SS amp has a "sound" that's different from another amp of similar power and build quality.  

I’m selling my Hegel H30 monoblocks and P30 pre to buy a pair of Plinius Ref A-300. They are wonderful with my Magico A5’s. I just like changing things up periodically. 

You have spent more than enough to achieve great sound.

Before wasting anymore $ on gear, work the room around via GIK

or trying other setup orientations in the room.

Read what Bob Katz says about Audio Veros Acourate digital room and loudspeaker correction. For around $500 you can do some amazing things.

Keep us posted on the outcomes please.

For sure : Luxman !!

I as other have said think if you are pretty happy then changing for change sake is not the right answer. I'm lucky in that I have a music lounge setup just for hifi 7mx5mx3.2m acoustically treated a bit ...side points ...corner bass traps and rear panels ... 3 thick rugs on top of each other etc  .. I did nothing to roof as lovely victorian cornicing and ceiling rose .... 

Everytime I think of changing I make myself pause now.is it just an itch to scratch or is something wrong? It sounds like so much is right with the system that apart from speaker position tweaks I would hang fire .... Have a holiday instead probably cheaper and that will refresh ears in a new way. 

Just my tuppence worth
