Ahhh good catch! Eco makes sense because you’re putting it in standby mode and not cutting power completely. But “pwr”makes sense in terms of people knowing what to press right off the bat. Assuming that’s why they changed it. Thanks for chiming in with this! 🍻
Great review as always. Love the look of this amplifier, although I’m still pretty happy with my H190 . I just bought the KEF R3 meta got a great deal for the S3 stands and R3’s for £1700 brand new. How are you getting on with your R3’s ?
Thanks! The R3’s are really nice. Will make a review eventually. Mine are connected to the H190 and it’s a great match. I got those matching stands too but ended up with the R3’s on my shelf. Shame because they’re the nicest stands!🍻
@@MisterChibsinteresting tip with the Hegel controller and the rubber switch controller cover, those Hegel remotes really don’t like being dropped! The look of the cover over the remote kind of spoils the look though and it go’s over some of the buttons, would be nice if Hegel made something like this for the remote. Also really interesting to see that Hegel have finally addressed the annoying buzzing sound from the transformer.
Thanks for the comparison and review. Very informative as usual. Now, is that a Holo May DAC in your office?? Can we expect a review and comparisons too?
I've been building my Amps& DACs lately BUT it won't always be that way .. I will assume Hegel is compliant with the EU mandate for PFC ... Most of my setups are complex while enjoying the current I still look forward to a simpler future. On a different note I plan on having my locally run AI server build a DIY video on DC blockers and EMI litigation Audiophiles for around $ 75
They are compliant indeed. Story time: When I first got the amp in, I thought something was wrong with it. Couldn’t connect to the thing from Hegel’s own app, or Roon over my network while H400 was in standby mode. I emailed Hegel and they told me because of said EU power mandate, this was a setting that comes switched off. Sort of pointless if you want to access the H400 at all times. I found that setting and turned it on. Now it works like it should! Thanks for watching! 🍻
Great review Mr. ....Hegel is not my jam...but I have no doubt that is one impressive amp! So....how soon will your H390 be up on Canadian Audio Mart???? 😂 Just one thing about the review, though.... why does that wrap that you put on the remote kind of remind me of some sort of sex toy? 😬
Thanks for watching! The remote cover is ment for a Nintendo Wii remote but fits Hegel’s remote perfectly. The pack comes with 2 so I suppose you can use the other as a sex toy. Just don’t get them confused!! 🥴🍻
Good Evening ☕️🍩 Hope you had a great holiday season. A very nice piece of kit …but the lack of firmware upgrade to the H390 is a little off putting..but as you said it doesn’t have the physical capacity to take the new software. On the control app ..regarding the volume..if you go landscape ..do you get more control ..but I suspect it’s locked . Once again great review. Thank you .
@@carminedesanto6746 hey Carmine, I don’t think going landscape does much but they’ll probably end up polishing it down the road. Thanks for watching!🍻
@@nikkipatton-mk8st I don’t have experience with the H300. Can’t recommend the H390 enough and you may see an influx of used ones with the 400 release. It’s going to sound different than your tube amp. Try and demo if you can before buying. 🍻
incredibly high quality vidoes , hope your subs increase at monutain level
@@abhileshm7216 thank you!! 🍻
It also appears that the “eco” button on the remote has been renamed to the more appropriate “pwr” button.
Ahhh good catch! Eco makes sense because you’re putting it in standby mode and not cutting power completely. But “pwr”makes sense in terms of people knowing what to press right off the bat. Assuming that’s why they changed it.

What's with the flame thrower review?
Any review coming soon of said flame thrower?
The flamethrower is fun!🍻 th-cam.com/video/GGKfqv7V0GY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DxiVOsG2QxEPljms

Mr Chibs, who is your daddy and what does he do?
@@jamesdoranto9013 My dad's a gynecologist. He looks at vaginas all day long.
@@MisterChibs Ah I see, so he can read lips. Respectable profession. 🙈🙉🙊
Im considering a hegel h300. Ive lived with tubes for the last 10 years. I am considering trading my current dac for the 300. Any thoughts?
