Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21?

I owned the Parsound A-21 it was very well balanced I put in
4of the aftermarket fuses in there, as well as a good $600 power cord
Then it had a bit of warmth and nice detail.
The Hegel 20 is a better amp in every respect, with a warmer character
But images are much more palpable, and front to back layering is much denser micro dynamics are more distinct,and bass is just as fast but better
Articulated and formed .that is why you rarely see a H-20 up for sale.

Is this a special, dealers only p*ss*ng match?

I mean thread?

PS

An Aragon 4004 was one of the best amps I have ever had, and was left on 24/7 for 8 years and never give me a moment of trouble.

Great midrange, bass, musicality and no hardness in the treble at all.

If the new amps are anything like the old ones (not to mention better) I will also take a look

I have a Parasound PLD/1100 preamp and am interested in looking for a parallel replacement. Any ideas would be welcome.

listening to the H 360 drive a pair of Revel ultima salon 1's using my rega jupiter digital coax  output to the H360 on board dac and find the music very involving. I bought an Anthem 225I after my 300il baked, just a bridge while finding a quality replacement. The anthem punches above its class for sure but the hegel shows it up at 3 times the price.
 I have to wonder how much dollar value affects imported products when comparing products from different countries.

So anybody still looking at saving money between the hegel brand and parasound really needs to listen to both in their system as my previous post stated I demoed a hegel last week and there were many variables since i also used the dac, but demoing an A21 this weekend with an old kav 300 il as a preamp I decided that for a $3000.00 saving the a21 comes very close and parasound holds value pretty good compared to many. Listening to the parasound I never thought I was using a budget product, which at $2500 it isn.t.
