HEGEL P20 Preamplifier. with Home Theatre, XLR & RCA Inputs & XLR & RCA Outputs
Soundstage HiFi review summary: Quality audio equipment requires substantial knowledge, design, and manufacturing prowess. Hegel Music Systems demonstrates all of these with their recently released P20 preamplifier, which continues their tradition of high-quality sound from well-built equipment at reasonable prices.
I tend not to read an audio component’s promotional materials until I’ve finished assessing its sound, so that I’m not predisposed to hear what the manufacturer wants me to hear. But as I finished listening to the P20, I took a look at Hegel’s website and found the following description of the P20: “an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.” I’ve used the words real and natural interchangeably here, and have discovered that I agree with Hegel’s description of the P20.
The Hegel P20 was neutral in its sound. It allowed for beautifully clear separation of sounds, voices, and instruments; and the vivid depth of its bass was a revelation. This preamplifier allowed singers and instruments on the best recordings to sound natural and almost fully real. The buyer gets far better sound than the P20’s price of NZ$6.095 suggests.. . . Erich Wetzel
In designing the P20, we achieved the highest quality of sound at such a low price point by using brand new technologies, such as Silicon Germanium transistors. In addition, we implemented high-frequency components that were not originally designed for audio, and use them in ways that had never been done before. The result is an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.
