    New Amp help! - Hegel h160 vs Rega Elicit-r vs ??

    So... That escalated quickly *biggrin* I found some pm1's for sale, supposedly in mint condition, from a non smokers house and with original stands. I'm gonna give them a listen, and check their condition tomorrow. I'm so excited! Haha. We agreed on £1000, which I think is fair?

    Giving a quick update for anyone interested. I went with the Hegel h160. The sound stage, and warmth is something I really liked, and I don't think you can do better than the build in DAC at the price point.

    Thank you both! Yes, I have been wanting to demo the pmcs actually... But I've had a hard rime finding a pmc dealer in my country. According to Google there is none, and so, I have given up on finding them. Al Ears, I got about $700-1000 in my budget for a phono stage, so that shouldn't be an...

    New Amp help! - Hegel h160 vs Rega Elicit-r vs ??

    Hi, Hope you're all doing alright today. I'm a long time reader, first time poster. I've read a lot about integrated amps lately, but I have a hard time deciding between the two mentioned in the title and have yet to see people compare them. I cannot audition them at the same time or place...
