Still trying to figure out which to upgrade. Keep having the H390 in mind. But after your video of the Audio Fest, I am wondering whether I should wait until those new models come out and save a bit. Either that, or theres a cool amplifier I found called the Tonewinner AD-1PA that is a power amp at 300 watts and potentially 100 watts at Class A and go with a decent preamp. My Hegel H90 finally overheated and turned off with my Magnepan 1.7s so its time. Tough decisions!

Hey, thanks again! I was close to the H390 to purchase, but I found a set of barely used Rogue M180 monoblocks for 3500$ USD and couldnt pass. They are like 9 grand for a pair and are 180 tube watts at 8 ohms! Considering a Hegel pre now, but I hear their phono stage is wonderful too

I was able to get the floor model of the H590 a few years ago and frankly, I just LOVE it. Some other reviewer liked the 390 better than the 590 so, it tells you something. I had the H80 and, just as you are planning to do, I kept mine and it drives the sound system in the living room. Do enjoy, your system is looking good.

@pmizz7959 4 месяца назад

Maybe your best video to date. I have seen a lot of people in the Hegel FB group ask the difference and I try to answer with similar points. But whenever anyone asks this people should just link this video. Honestly I bought the 190 and when I plugged it in I was mildly disappointed. I decided to pony up for the 390 and exchanged it. I went from, “maybe I’ll try another brand”, to a Hegel fanboy in one exchange. The difference was that stark to me. So I totally get your friend saying he didn’t even want to switch to the 190 anymore after hearing the 390.

@davidrivera2165 4 месяца назад

Nice review. In regards to Hegel amps not heating up. Actually they do heat up and will go into shut down mode. It depends on the load they have to push (as in speakers that go lower than a 2ohm load and sensitivity is 85hz or below) in conjunction with decibel levels being generated carrying said load. It's understandable that your h390 did not go into shut down mode as yor Cornwall are very sensitive, and likely never go below a 4ohm load.

@MisterChibs 4 месяца назад

Yea, I guess the speakers I have aren’t that demanding. Good to know they shut down if heat becomes a problem though! Thanks for watching!🍻

I have the Kef R3 Meta hooked up to the cambridge audio cxa61 and need to get a new amplifier. The cambridge sounds very harsh and hurts my ears in the high frequencies. It sounds like the treble is tilted up. I was looking to get the hegel h120 because I’ve heard that it sounds natural and pairs well with kef. The h390 is way more expensive than I was planning to spend. Do you have any advice as far as which way to go as far as hegel amps vs using separate components entirely. Do you know of a dac, amp, preamp, streamer combo that could do better at a lower price?

@MisterChibs 3 месяца назад

If you end up going Hegel rout, you won't regret the extra spend. That said, check out my Peachtree GAN1 video review. I've had that connected to the R3 Metas and was happy with the sound. Much cheaper too. 🍻

@Kami84 2 месяца назад

@@MisterChibs I bought the gan 1 and I have to say it's overall the best amplifier I've ever heard. Before the gan 1, I tried the Audiolab 9000a, Marantz Cinema 50, Onkyo RZ50, Rotel 1572 mk II, and Naim Uniti atom. The Peachtree obliterates all of them in overall performance, IMHO. It's close to perfect. The only critique would probably be that I would prefer it to be ever so slightly warmer. I'll audition the Hegel H120 anyway just so that I don't have fomo, but I'm damned impressed with the peachtree.

"50 Ways to Leave your Lover" was the first song I listened to when I added my first seperate dac to my system 7 years ago. Even though I had heard this song 1000 times before, it was like the first time because there were twice as much sound than I had ever heard. The song must have randomly showed up on what I was streaming as I had never bought and music by Paul Simon. My mom had a Simon and Garfunkel album which was awesome but it was later that I learned Paul Simon fully created that song (every track). What a coincidence (there are no coincidences).

I'm thinking about adding a Eversolo dmp A8 to my Hegel H390 to take the sources out of the amp.

@deanbrandon3615 Месяц назад

Maybe I missed it, but how is the low volume performance? I mean low to mid volumes. I sometimes think the H190 sounds better at say, 48 and up on the volume dial. - Sometimes that’s too loud for the occasion. I have B&W 705s with a sub, so the h190 does fine and is matched well I think. Still, I wish I could tweak the equalization to match things better at low volumes and to fit the room. I know, Hegel……. Would the h390 do better at low to mid volumes?

@deanbrandon3615 Месяц назад

Of course it could be my hearing is changing, ut my older Denon sounded very good at lower volumes after I adjusted treble, etc.

@MisterChibs Месяц назад

In my system with my speakers / room / etc, low volume listening is great on H390. No urge to adjust eq. Is it better than H190? I think, yes but only for the same reasons I feel sq has improved after the jump. Hope that helps! 🍻

@justasimplefox 4 месяца назад

Just based on the opening, not impressed by audio excellence guys...for all the claims they make about being so experienced and being fair in their reviews, they didn't practice basic knowledge in speaker positioning relative to seating position when testing out the Buchardt S400s. Apparently just Buchardt speaker stands means you don't have to follow best practices. Anyhow on with the show, I enjoy your reviews Mr Chibs!
