The P30A preamplifier and the H30A power amplifier replace the P30 and H30 reference amplifiers that have been on the market since 2011, setting a new bar for what Hegel amplifiers can achieve.
Hegel says that for several years they have known that the P30 and H30 amplifiers were living on borrowed time because the extremely good transistors they used were being discontinued. This was a problem because they were so good that finding something that could even come close proved to be very hard. So, for years they have been looking for replacements that could not only match, but also improve upon the performance of their amplifiers.
Now, with a new design and vastly upgraded sound qualities, the P30A and H30A pair sets a new bar for what Hegel amplifiers can achieve. The company have given the P30A and the H30A the nicknames “The Conductor” and “The Orchestra” and the say that, although they of course work best together, both can also be great individual upgrades to existing systems.
Speaking of upgradeability, the H30A is designed as a mono power amplifier and performs best when used as such, but it can also be used in stereo mode. The P30A is a fully balanced preamplifier with an attention to detail that is really something else, the company says. With a host of unbalanced and balanced analog inputs and outputs it will satisfy the needs of even the most dedicated audiophile.
