This mirrors Mike's review. It took a while to really hear what this preamp could do. Out of the box, the sound is very thin, with little to no bass. Over two weeks, things improved, but there was still a slight hardness in the treble. A Shunyata Venom...

I suppose that I'm starting to sound like a broken record when I talk about the concept of matching in home theater, but how else can I call attention to one of the most important aspects of creating a successful system? After all, matching audio/video...

Denon's new $399 PMA-600NE 2CH Integrated Amp and $299 DCD-600NE CD Player pack great build quality and features into affordable audiophile compact form. Power is overstated but don't let deter you.

Just as I'd got accustomed to the idea of Hegel's H190 or H360 being the ‘go-to' powerhouse integrated amplifiers (reviewed HFC 394 and 401 respectively), along comes a beast of a big brother in the form of the H590. Rated at just over 300W per channel...
