The Hegel P30A, known as "The Conductor," stands as a reference preamplifier, boasting a fully balanced design, meticulously matched FET transistors, and innovative SoundEngine technology, offering a versatile and exceptionally quiet performance for audiophiles seeking a natural and immersive sound experience.
Get the Details
The common denominator across all Hegel products I have reviewed is low distortion without sounding analytical. The P30A and H30A have such low levels of noise riding along with the signal, and are so musically compelling, that I would happily live with them as my primary references. This is the first time a preamp and power amp priced lower than my long-standing references has outperformed them. That should tell you how highly I regard the P30A and H30A. I am unaware of any other solid-state combo that offers higher levels of sonic refinement, power stability, and sheer musical enjoyment in its price range. Bent Holter and the folks at Hegel have done a great job. Enthusiastically recommended.
