Hello Amirm, hello everyone.
I hope my English is good enough to be understandable.
First of all, I would like to warmly thank Amirm for the work done and the quality of the tests performed. Then, I thank you all for the quality of the exchanges and the sharing of all this knowledge. All this has allowed me to grow and to get out of the "idiot fidelity" and to come back to the pragmatic, measurable audio-fidelity that I can hear.
This test and these results on the Hegel H95 really pushed me over the edge! As a H90 owner since 2020, my ego took a hit and I couldn't stand the idea that I was being ripped off. So I decided that if I had been able to put money into this "high-end" amp, I had to buy and test the Loxjie A30 in light of the Amirm tests. After all, I had nothing to lose even if it is not an easy thing to accept!
I wanted to verify with my own ears and in my environment that all this was still possible: to be fooled by pure and simple marketing and that there were much better (without the unverifiable concepts that Hegel sells), simpler and more effective for the pleasure of our ears.
I pass you the details, but I have subjectively but nevertheless in a very real and effective way heard the reality of the scientific tests published by Amirm here! While passing on the Loxjie A30 this week, I note how much it is just incredible and very pleasant to find such a definition and such a spectrum reproduced with quality, transparency and dynamic . I don't miss anything and I hear now a lot of elements that had disappeared or that were attenuated by the H90 or the integrated DAC. It's really really great!
My speakers express themselves completely and deliver a richness of sounds beyond what I had known, while being soft, open, precise, fast and absolutely not tiring. On this subject, I can say that the manufacturer of these speakers (
https://jm-reynaud.com/) did not lie and I find well the behavior described on its site and its data sheet (French manufacturer which produces the results of factual measurements and which knows how to describe the behavior of its speakers).
I can also confirm what I read: the Hegel was eating all the low frequencies and the pre-out doesn't work well. My Sub now expresses itself very well and all low frequencies are reproduced very well, with punch and clarity in all different low frequencies.
All this to say thank you again and that in the light of this forum, I now plan to go up in range. Indeed this experience (transformed into a good one thanks to you), pushes me to explore further the possibilities of certain materials tested here: I thus consider passing on Topping PA5 in amplifier and Topping E50 in DAC... yes, of course, with the money recovered from the very quick sale of the H90, I have largely what to please me with these 2 future elements!
You will find below some pictures of my installation, in case you are interested. Modestly and if I know, I am at your disposal if you have any questions.
Thanks again to all of you and especially to you, Amirm! Good listening sessions to all.
