| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! Can't wait it's going to be much better. | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 Just depends on how much power you want. I have the 190 and love it with the Dynaudio Heritage speakers. I use it mainly for streaming. My main listening is a tube integrated. | |
| Time for a new cartridge I have your same turntable and really enjoy the Lyra Delos. I think it's great value for the money. | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 If you don’t need a phono stage the Hegel H190 is a great value. The DAC is fine, although I’m not an expert. I use mine mainly for streaming and it sounds good to my ears. And, it has enough power for most circumstances. I bought mine when they r... | |

| Tube amps under $7500 I'm going to put in a vote for the VSi75 by ARC. One can probably find it used for under your budget. | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Have to agree on Hegel H190. I use one as my summer amp when my tube amp makes the room a little warm. I use a WiFi booster with an Ethernet plug on it and run the Ethernet cable to the Hegel. Sounds great to me. | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Hey bigtwin, thanks for the heads up on the Desmond cd’s. I’m a definite Paul Desmond fan.👍 | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... I'm with bigtwin on this. One can search for the system that will give you a sound stage that one desires. However, the recording is the golden key that unlocks soundstage. And, not all recordings are equal, as we have discovered. There is lo... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama I wouldn’t use the word “truth” in this instance. I would suggest that the word opinion is a better choice. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k I’m happy with my ARC Vsi75, only four power tubes and 2 pre tubes. They can now be had for 5 to 6k. |
