Even tonal balance, good dynamics, the ability to "disappear". New or used.

mijostyn I use an Hegel H390 integrated amp. No way to use this DSP thing without changing my gear, or using my integrated as an amp only. Sticking a $1300 digital pre-amp in front of my system, I'm afraid would degrade the sound in spite of impr...

dayglow, thanks. Actually I just upgraded to the Hegel from a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ which is quite a bit better. 😀 I may look at a Herbies mat again, but the last time I tried a record weight on the Rega, it was not an improvement (o...
