Hegel vs Rogue
I spent time auditioning the hegel h160 vs the h360 on spendor speakers and I liked the 160 a lot. I did not hear in that room in that system over two visits a difference to go for the 360. If you were doing maggies or other power hungry speakers ... 
What integrated can replace over -bright exposure 3010?
If eveything in your system was the same and the new amp made the system sound forward and bright, chances are new cables and source wont provide enough adjustments to make you happy. I personally find that when I dont immediately like a new compo... 
Audioquest
Audioquest seems to make quality products but I find their lineup very confusing - trees, rocks, rockets. I have not purchased aq because I cannot understand what the differences are between the various products. Perhaps a good retail store could ... 
Hegel vs Rogue
Both are great amp makers. To me ideally the best amps are full on class a, or set tube amps. Good class ab like Hegel get close to the smooth sound of class a and sometimes top them without the size, heat and cost. Hybrid tube designs don’t quite... 
Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs
many good ideas here. I really like the Hegel sound and the fact that they are very versatile and can be used with many types of speakers. I opted for the h200 and am really enjoying it. I will probably not replace it as I am really happy with its...

New Release CD Players $1000 - $1500
The Hegel is innovative in a back to the future way. They are focusing on doing one thing well. Interesting but at that price it would have to be really really great.  
Looking for an All in One DAC/Streamer/Server
I should add that I was willing to spend up to 2k and just couldn't see that the more expensive units were worth it at this stage. Would be great if a reviewer tested them for sq only to find out. To me, nailing the dac plus streamer with many opt... 
Looking for an All in One DAC/Streamer/Server
I was/am in the same boat. For me my goal is to get my macbook pro out of my music system, to access my music library from an external drive or nas, and to move into streaming. I was looking at aurender, oppo sonica dac, w4s modified sonos, green ... 
San Francisco N. Bay - Worlds Smallest Audio swap meet?
Good idea to meet, swap and listen.  I am from SF but am residing abroad so cant make it.  
New Release CD Players $1000 - $1500
The only new and innovative cd player I know of is the hegel mohican. But its much more expensive than the stated budget. For the money I would buy an oppo.  
Sony HAP Z1ES or tablet with DAC
looks like a great unit. my concern would be that the storage drive isnt expanable beyond 2tb and its not clear how the disk can be regularly backed up. Id also prefer a solid state though I know it costs more.  
Wilson Audio Haters
First let me say I'm glad you found speakers you enjoy. I am not a hater but I really dislike Wilson speakers. I have heard them only in showrooms and not with my music but each time I found them producing impressive sounds but not impressive or i...
