Astronutter Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) SOLD Item Condition: 9.5/10 Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Bathurst State: NSW Payment Method: PayPal, EFT,Cash Reason for selling: NLR Further information: I upgraded from a H190 to this unit. However it does not work as well in my small listening room as my lower powered H190. Massive bass and a smooth mid range + terrific imaging are key standouts with this amp. I understand it has a fantastic built in DAC based on the AKM chipset, but I never actually used it. By all reports it is a great partner with Kef and Dynaudio speakers. I have the original shipping boxes, remote etc. RRP at the moment is $9,995. I am the second owner. Bought from Mark at Frank Prowse Hi Fi ( his personal unit as I understand it) Photos: Edited January 27, 2022 by Astronutter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought from Mark at Frank Prowse Hi Fi ( his personal unit as I understand it) Photos: May I ask why this amp didn't seem to work in your small living room, compared to your previous, lower powered Hegal H190 ? I know Hegal pretty much did a pretty big redesign with this amp over the H190, and it's reported as being bit brighter [for want of a better term] I'm just interested if it was a case of having too much power on hand, as I can't remember seeing people finding this a problem before.

Astronutter Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 I cant be 100% sure, but my sense of it was the h390 powered my magneplanar 1.7i’s differently to the h190’s which then energised my listening room in a different way. I did move the Maggie’s around to tailor the sound, but I never quite get it right to suit my listening preference. I all aspects, the h390 behaved perfectly, I just couldn’t optimise the sound in my room. As I indicated, this amp has amazing control of the bass and produces a deep and well defined soundstage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaBear Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Great amp, just a few months too late for me. I purchased the same one from Frank Prowse but new. I am so happy with mine. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronutter Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Starting to grow on me, still I have to sell either the h190 or the h390, can’t keep both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2465 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Yep beautiful amp. I am using it with Dyanaudio HS in a small room and the pair sound great on low volume. Solid/meaty sound on low volume. Edited January 26, 2022 by Cougar2465 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
