Balance Control
@elliottbnewcombjr   just a quick update - the unit has arrive...it could be a week to three or four before i have time to sit with it....much outdoor stuff this time of year to do as i grow a good bit.  But it looks great...look forward to the ti...

@mitch2 right now i have an integrated amp....no pre amp, so sounds like with what you are doing i need to add a unit anyway.  I need to read more int that and will, eventually.  
Balance Control
@elliottbnewcombjr   they make other ones...three inputs and i believe 2 output XLR...can also add remote and actually pick attenuators...though that is a bot above my pay grade right now.  Much privier though....but that is not of much concern...... 
Balance Control
@lanx0003  - i like this....pricier than what i ordered (the Chase) but very nice...might try this as well...if just to play with....very pretty, lol....and i like the design and options. @elliottbnewcombjr  - might be a bit before i get to it a... 
Balance Control
@elliottbnewcombjr  Yes i run the table and cd payer to it's own Lokius as Hegel has no loop out feature.  I do not use the phono stage of the Hegel - using an I3 Black Label as currently running a Hanna cartridge, might some day upgrade that but... 
Balance Control
Now, other thought i had was replacing the Hegel with say a Parasound.integrated.....or i could go separates there with Parasound (Halo 6 pre amp and A23+ power).  That would give me the balance, performance and sound quality. Any other recommend...

Recommendations for a integrated amp
Well, my budget at the time was about 3k but i did go higher and bought the Hegel 190V and have been extremely happy with it. I did not get a chance to listen to it before i bought it.  I went out in the wild.  By me there were none handy so to sp...

Any thoughts or knowledge on the Advance Paris amps?
Hmmm.....never thought about tube replacement.  I also looked a bit at the stereo amp and pre. I touched base with a retailer and got on the AP -  It is a bit “rounder” in is presentation.  Same with the DAC. The DAC sounds really good but not a ... 
Hegel H120 or H190
@boozendormi  I am no expert at all as i am looking at a new amp as the initial set up was not well thought out as i knew no better.  Way too much research into this but.....ultimately know what direction you want to go with the speakers and what... 
Integrated Amp - Narrowing Down to 2
I had looked at the MF M6si....will look  bit into the MA5300 and the Moon. I have no intention on going into 5 figures at this time as there are other things to upgrade first and feel this will be significant enough for the immediate future.  If... 
Physically Comfortable Headphones
Audeze MM-500 Got them two weeks back...amazing...worth every penny Put them up against Focal Stellia....MM blew them away. I generally listen from 1-6 hours....never know you have them on.    
Best sounding headphones you have owned?
New here....still wandering around. Came across this thread. I listen a lot with headphones as i listen mostly when all is quiet in the house (as in sleeping peeps). Just is when i have time among other things. Also not having the size for a dedi...
