Hegel May Have Just Made The Best Audiophile Amplifier In The World - Hegel H30A Amplifier & P30A

Hegel Integrated Amplifiers are well known as one of the best audiophile integrated amplifiers such as the Hegel H90, Hegel H120, Hegel H190, Hegel H390 and Hegel H590 but their NEW High-End H30A Amplifier and P30A Pre-Amplifier is on another level

Thank you for stopping by to hear my story in my audio journey. Please click the "like button" on the video if it was entertaining and/or helpful ! It helps me a ton. Also I am curious as to what you are currently using and what is the best amplifier experiences you've had; share in the comment section Power Rating and Specification is something that Hegel should improve. The stated power rating on Hegel's website is 1100W @ 8Ohms in mono. No power rating or damping factor is states for 4 ohms loads and in stereo configuration.

Jay, I recently upgraded my AC to 10awg wire 15A dedicated for my dual mono power amplifier. Then I have Preamp, DAC, streamer on another dedicated 10awg/15A circuit. Just using cheap commercial grade 20A receptacles. Wow, what a difference. Hope you have dedicated high current wire runs too. If not, you have to try it, it’s truly amazing.

Great review Jay. As a fan of Hegel amplifiers I am looking forward hearing this combination soon here in The Netherlands. (P.s.: please stop background music in video’s. Is distracting and annoying).

[@johngriffith5610]

I just ordered the H30a and P30a to replace my H590. I had hoped to use my Linn Klimax dsm2 as the pre amp and DAC but I tested it with the H590 in home theater mode and it was clear I need the Hegel pre amp. It will be paired with blade 2 meta’s. I can’t wait.

[@bulldogcoolio]

Can you pls share your opinion how the pairing went?

[@timothymcdonald7883]

I am contemplating the same move. Would love to hear your opinion on the differences between the 590 and h30a/p30a

[@SergeySkomorokhov]

Have you got your H30A and made a brief comparison for us?

[@voicesofvinyl]

My 70wpc integrated amplifier built by Gilbert Yeung has nearly 1.5 Farad (1,500,000 uF) of capacitance. Power supply/reserve has such an amazing impact on sound reproduction, and it is nice to see a company like Hegel providing a good amount of power storage. Sure it comes in a black box, but we listen with our ears, not your eyes!

[@klaymoon1]

Great review!

[@patrickjabelin8285]

Thank you for this interesting video. In addition to the H390 references, it would have been interesting to compare the P30A/H30A combo to their P30/H30 ancestors. I would be very curious about the improvements made between these two generations.

[@mrpositronia]

Thanks Jay! I'll put it on my wish-list. Mind you, the H390 is more realistic and I'd be more than happy with that.

[@HudyGamer14]

Awesome review. How would this compare with the McIntosh MA12000 integrated?

[@joachimmagnusson3128]

Thanks for an excellent review. As a previous owner of the Hegel H390 i can agree on the soundquality. A few month ago i changed to the Gato PWR-222 monoblocks, with a AVM PA5.2 preamplifier. My speakers are KEF Blade2. A fantastic equipment combination (in my opinion). As i can see the Gato monoblocks in the background, i wonder if you will review them on your channel? My comparison between H390 and the Gatos is in favour of the Gatos. More "musical" and "silky smooth".

[@Michael34323]

are you still happy with the gatos ?

[@JoeJ-8282]

This definitely IS a beautiful amp, but I wonder how it would sound/compare against the PS Audio flagship amplifier, and especially when also driving their own new flagship speakers, the FR30s, as they are also in the same kind of (new car) price range. That might be a decent comparison to make a video about too.

[@razisn]

Regarding output in stereo mode: According to Hegel this amp has exactly the same output stage as the previous H30. That amp was specified by Hegel to offer 350Wpc at 8ohm and 675Wpc at 4ohm. Damping factor should also be the same between the amps with tha damping factor in stereo mode double that of the bridged mono mode.

[@special_edition]

Hi Jay, I just want to shout out you made plenty of great video reviews that are helpful to me and other audiophiles lovers too. I would like to ask you how Hegel H30A compares to old school giants such as Krell and ML monoblocks? Does it stand a chance against them in term of power and sonic wise? Also, how is H30A compares to H4SE that it replaces? On paper they are very identical, but H30A have two torroids compare to one on the H4SE. Thank you Jay, and keep up the good work!

I bet the Hegel/Hegel - TAD is one helluva combo in your room (looking killer btw). You've been putting in the work w/bookshelves... saving the best for last?!! On the Mount Rushmore of bookshelves, it's certainly not a stretch to identify it as one of the four.

Hey Jay, I was wondering if you tried the P30A with the H390, this might be an interesting combo and comparison?

Not much of a looker, but it sure has the goods under the hood. Great review. Thanks for posting.

Hi Jay, Have you ever tried driving Magnepan speakers with the GamuT D200? I have been using a D200 Mk 3 with 2.7QRs for over 20 years and this is a match made in heaven as the GamuT has the high current capability to drive the 2.7s effortlessly. A few years ago I added an REL S3, and this very fast subwoofer is a seamless match fopr the big panels.

Jay- I was wondering if you've ever audtioned Ayre integrated amplifiers or separates. I heard their KX-R preamp with their monoblocks and sounded spectacular, but I'm always uneasy making absolute conclusions because it's always a question of how they compare with other equipment which in most cases is a lot less expensive.

[@pedroluisguillemain5683]

Very nice video, thanks! You should test the Audio-GD HE-2 Mk2 monoblocks. They are music monsters and cost about USD 6.500 plus shipping. Or any other Audio-GD flagship component like their HE-1 mk2 preamp, R7-HE mk2 DAC, etc. They are a bargain for the price.

Wondered how they sounded with your Sonus Faber Electa Amator III speakers . The Hegel 390 and the Amator III speakers are my planned for system in the next few years, assuming they work well together.

How hot does the box run considering the cooling fins are on the inside? I wouldn't think this design decision is the best... already makes me nervous about heat problems long term.

Just upgraded to P30a/H30a from H390 - huge difference. Speakers: Kef Reference; Source: Auralic Altair G2.1

[@kenmcglown6642]

I have to disagree with you on the Hegel H390 sounding better than the H590. I know. It's your own personal opinion. However, as I've owned both, I strongly believe that the H590 is superior in every way. I drive a pair of hard to drive Revel Salon 2 speakers with an H590 and I was amazed and absolutely blown-away by the increased detail, transparency, power, slam, dynamics and refinement that the H590 exhibited over the H390. The H590 made a huge difference in my system. The H390 was, of course, outstanding as well, but not on the same level as the H590. The H590, as it was designed to be, is a definite and distinct upgrade over the H390.

[@MichelLinschoten]

That's all purely subjective, your situation is nothing like his. Way different rooms, gear, music taste, ears, sources and I can go on and on.

[@stevesmyth4982]

Three years ago I bought the H20 and although it's very well engineered and the bass is tight and powerful it has a rather vague stereo image which I suspect is due to the distortion cancelling circuitry. If you do intend to buy the H20 I suggest you keep this in mind when listening to the amplifier in the vendor's listening room.

These Hegels seem great but I was able to buy my entire system (2 Ampzilla monoblocks and Ambrosia preamp) for under $10k from Underwood Hi Fi. The Ampzillas will drive anything and will give you 580 watts into 4ohms. It is the first solid state setup I have heard that supplies the best of tubes and solid-state sounds.

Did you see the video your former comrades you used to work with did a while back where they put the Peachtree GAN400 + pre-DAC up against the vaunted Hegel 360 driving Magnepans and the Peachtree more than held its own (and at a fraction of the price). You've said many times in the past that Peachtree and Magnepan do not make a good pairing, and that might be true of the non-GAN Peachtree amps, but that GAN 400 and pre-DAC combo is pretty sweet (yeah, I bought one after watching the Audio Excellence video)...
