We went to see Top Gun Maverick. It was good. Not sure it lived up to the hype, but good none the less.

Good, but man, after you hear the 860v2, it’s no going back. I really like the 760A footprint. It doesn’t quite have the big sound and sense of effortless power of the 860v2, but in a small to medium room, great.

Not at this time. Stand mounts don’t sell as easily. Not big movers as a whole. Most people would just spent a wee bit more and get the 804D4’s IMO.

Nice job. The new tweeter is longer and “sunk into” the cabinet to run flush with the new cabinet. We are definitely getting a pair. I want the active version sans streamer.

To my ears, the 340i is the sweet spot and the value play. The 600 and 700 bring more power and refinement. The 700 makes a statement visually and sonically, but at a significant premium.

I don’t know those Mc pieces, so a little hard to comment. A 2500 is a better reference for me. I always found the 2500 veiled compared to say a VAC Ren V. We took a 2500 on trade for a VAC pre.

Tone? That sounds like a sweet little Jadis integrated or something to me.
But then again, with the current state of tube availability, the 866 might be a good way to go.

The DAC in the 866 does not outperform the LaScala IMO. It’s good, but the LaScala is very special and still my favorite standalone dac under $10k.
Do you find yourself needing more power than the INT-60?

No triple. They do make a double, but it’s for a small power cable. Best to stick with single only. There isn’t room for the C-Lock and more large outlets.

How much is the subscription? The D1X is $50K here in America. I don’t think anyone with a $50K DAC would squawk at $20/month for a streaming service.
If you’re focused on CD/SACD, I still wonder if the K1X/PS1 might make more sense.

Roon build 1.8x sounds better on my system than previous versions of Roon.
In my case HQ Player didn’t improve the sound quality. Others swear by it.
It’s not hard to try out and revert to what you have if you don’t hear an improvement.

Comparing and integrated to a behemoth 350.8 is a bit unfair. The 350.8 will have just effortless power and soundstaging. It will be warmer in tone, have more bass, but not necessarily tighter or more defined bass than the 590.
The Hegel 590 is...
