Hegel house sound

[drummerman]

Let me add something; I was really interested in comparing the amplifier with my existing one.

Thing is, since plugging the Hegel in I have not re-connected the Cyrus. I have not even tried the internal DAC. Because of work I have not been able to listen too much but it just sounds 'right'. So much so that I kind of didnt feel the need to play around with things.

Not something that has happened too many times in the past.

I only had Rost on 3 day demo so was forced to do reconnect. I enjoy Densen immensely but in direct comparison just felt that Rost was better overall. Not everything was better but as a package it just did it for me.

As a side note. Having listened to H160 for a while now I can't warm up to its sound. It doesn't gel with my speakers. The other day I've tried it as a DAC only into Densen and this has been a revelation! I never expected anything like it.

Although Rost and H160 are using the same AKM chip the H160 sounds more expansive. It sounds better than HD12 sounded or any other DAC I've listened to in my system. I've not tried to connect the Rost to Densen which I will as soon as I'm back with it on Monday.

I was interested in the Hegel’s myself a specially the H190 or H360 but I’ve never heard the Hegel sound yet only on YouTube which is not the same thing

So how would you describe a Hegel, then?...like a Cyrus, only better? *diablo*

H160 and I base the opinion on the others from the former range plus some things I've heard my cousin say about H300 (2 generations old) would be like Cyrus sound. I've not owned Cyrus though but that's what I got from my limited time with Cyrus.

Feel free to come for a listen. However it would be H160 until Monday and Rost afterwards. If all goes go plan H190 will follow Rost.

Not sure. Difficult to describe something that seems pretty self effacing.

I'm in Sheffield. So not that far. I will be in Cambridge on 3rd of Feb for half a day. My son's got a lecture at the university. If you're available I'd be prepared to bring Hegel so you can have a listen. Must say really like the look of your system, as you know I really like Dali speakers.

I would be up for that but will you have time as was thinking your got to travel back to Sheffield ? I also have to pick my daughter up from school at 3.15 pm so if it’s possible in between before I pick my daughter up then yes that would be great . how do you go about giving details without the world knowing ?

3rd Feb is a Saturday does your daughter have school that day? I should be in Cambridge for 9.30am so could be in Ely after 10am. Are you on any other forum PFM, Hifi Wigwam? PM through there would work. Otherwise we can do it as I did it last time I needed to do the same thing.

Hi Bs25 and insider9

As well as the Rost would you guys also be interested to hear the H160 with the Dali’s?

All the best

Rick @ Musicraft

 

[Blacksabbath25]

I was thinking muscle rick .... the Hegel h190 or hegel h360 I would really like to listen too *smile* or even better a luxman amplifier

 

[insider9]

If I get the H190 by then I'll bring it

 

[Blacksabbath25]

What do you think your possibly have with you then ?

The hegal H190 has a good power supply as well do you no the power output of the hegal H190 and will go down to 4ohm load ?

Edit.... I just looked 2 times 250 Watts into 4ohm load that’s 500 Watts

 

[insider9]

I'm 100% I will have Rost. It should have no issues driving 4 ohm load. H190 is a possibility depending on when Rick gets stock.

 

[insider9]

Rost measured by HFN achieved 135W into 4 ohm and dynamic 225W. How large is your room of that's not enough?

 

[Blacksabbath25]

That’s ok mate it will be nice just to hear the Rost it’s still a hegal *smile*

 

[Blacksabbath25]

roughly 8 or 9 meters guessing long by 4-5 meters wide I have my setup against the longest part of my room but your probably say my Dali’s are to big for my room but they are well behaved as you will see when you come
