| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? I have an NAD C298 with NAD's Purify implementation and think it's great. I really can't tell it apart from my Luxman M900U, but as someone else posted: "I don't have bat ears" applies to me as well. | |

| Bragging rights..... I've got a lot of separates and I'm not ready to part with them, but I recently bought a used Hegel H160 for my office and added one component, blue sound node for streaming and really, really like what it produces. While the streamer is separate ... | |

| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work I have an ARC LS27 preamp paired with a Luxman M900U power amp, Speakers Harbeth 40.2 anniversary. I think that combination works really well. | |

| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. I recently purchased a used Hegel H-160 for my office system. It is paired with B&W 686S2 speakers. I have to say I am quite impressed and would be open to Helge integrated amps, maybe the H390 or H590 for my main setup. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I'm not ready for an integrated on my main system of separates. I like it too much to even think about replacing. However, I recently purchased (thank you Craigs List) a used Hegel H160 integrated for my office system and really like it which make... | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt Atmosphere says in plain English what I am slowly finding out: The D amps have a lot of different sound signatures so simply buying a D amp, at least for me, is not as easy as I thought it would be. | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt jedi1, that is one positive review! Nice to hear from folks that own the unit. I'm still doing some research, but the C298 is high on my list. I have some indecision however that relates to the continued evolution of the D technology and the po... |
