About Me: Paul Rigby – The Audiophile Man
I’ve been a journalist and editor for over 30 years and I still retain my good humour. Who’d have thought?
This site focuses principally on music and Hi-Fi but my scribblings have found homes elsewhere including hundreds of national magazines and newspapers in the UK, Europe and the USA covering: aviation, computer technology, computer gaming, mobile technology, home automation, lady’s lifestyle, business, plastic model making, antiques and more.
My current outpourings feature within national magazines and various websites in the subjects of music, hi-fi and general technology.

I just wondered whether you have considered to review in the future any Hegel Amps and ATC speakers among your busy schedule?
Thank you
Victor

15th December 2019 at 10:41 amI can’t answer for PR but I did own a Hegel H90 until recently. A lovely smooth, very dynamic and authoritative sound. Hegel say ‘the most powerful 60 watts you hear’. I can’t confirm that but it has a large power supply and sounds (imho) superb, not least because of some clever and unique distortion reducing engineering. – Not cheap but worth the money in my opinion. Nice large, easy to read OLED disply too. Used with older PMC DB1’s.

Further to your recommendation of the Goldring E3 with which I agreed and commented upon, I have just purchased another of your recommendations, the Black Rhodium Twist speaker cable, which was a huge improvement on my previous favourite, QED Silver Anniversary, and complements the E3 superbly. I really must amend my article ” A HiFi Fanatics 55 Year Journey” on WordPress.com now.
Thank you for your succinct reviews, which are proving to be a godsend.

25th September 2019 at 5:37 pmHi Paul, how come no recent reviews? Any chance of reviewing the Marantz NR1200?
Best regards

25th September 2019 at 5:43 pmHi Mohsin – Good spot. The reason I put reviews on hold – and I did – was to develop my new YouTube channel. This needed a LOT of work and there’s only so many hours in the day :). There’s never a good time to do these things so I picked on August. When a lot of people go on holiday and many people were thinking of sun, sea and sand and not hifi. I’m reviewing now. In fact, I posted a recent review of the Audio-Technica turntable only a few days ago. Did you see that one? I’ll put the Marantz on my ‘to do’ list.

24th December 2019 at 4:17 pmHi, I’m in the process of updating my twelve-year-old hifi. I have new Seinheiser HD650s and am now looking for a CD player. If I were to buy the Audiolab 6000CDT CD transport, what would you recommend as a DAC? I have about £700 to spend on the DAC. At the moment I use the old, but very nice Vans headphone amp. I like instrumentals, especially guitar, and voice.
Thanks, Bert

24th December 2019 at 4:44 pmHi Bert – thanks for your question. This is a very nice DAC: https://www.schiit.co.uk/dacs/gungnir
