Well the Hegel H190 despite it’s internals and made in China credentials sounds pretty good to these cloth ears.

I suggest that the made in China prejudice might be something you’ll have to learn to get over in the coming years.

sometimes pictures can speak a million words, so here’s 2 more pictures.

This is the HEGEL H390 asking price 4900 GBP

This is the HEGEL H590 asking price 9000 GBP

a third picture that speaks much more than a million words

As you can see Naim made big efforts to make sure speaker output cables and mains/transformer cables do not touch each other

this is how it was before

Nice photos. When I was teenager, I used to do the same. It resulted in bad school results!

Let’s actually go down the route that internal layout affects sound to that degree what you have shown here is an unfair comparison the Hegel’s you are showing are amplifiers that contain streamers and Dacs and the Supernait is just an integrated.

A much fairer comparison would be between an Hegel H190 and a Uniti Nova. The pictures you are showing are the equivalent of a 272/250 and a 272/300 all squeezed into one box which of course don’t exist so your comparison isn’t a fair one.

Beer mat.

I had one of those👍

Bet it sounds horrible. :grin:

In defence of Bob
Does it mater what the hell is inside anything as long as said person is happy with what they have got and worked hard to pay for wether it’s a cheap Chinese or sate off the art British design
If it sounds good and I like it for all I care it could have a hamster in a wheel powering it
I know it’s a naim forum but please could we drop the slagging off and putting down off anything not naim
We all have budgets and have to spend to them so let’s just appreciate what that person can afford and enjoy hey its still playing music which is what all this is about
Or we would all just have shelves full off equipment not plugged in just to say look I’ve got this so it’s better than yours and cost this much because its got less wires in it what we can’t really see unless we get the lid off and go ooooo look at that

Trying to delicately lift that lump of mass onto my new Fraim yesterday almost gave me a hernia, now i can see why. Looks nice and tidy. Naim really go that extra mile with tidy wiring. Sounds really good too.

Did you soda blast the cases.??? They are looking very good

Those Hegels do look confusing inside, what a mess, I hope they sound decent.
I’ve just checked Nova/Superuniti innards via google, love that quality order build.

Naim and early Exposure amps, looks are beauties inside, at least those I have seen myself, their sound is/was indeed very good too.

Take special note as to how Hegel attached the amplifier output to the binding posts verses Naim.
