Against the recent used market, US$4,799 sits above the median US$4,160 and even above the 75th percentile at US$4,509, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It isn’t outrageous for a desirable piece, but it’s priced at a level where you’d want some extra value to be included.
The appeal here is straightforward: the H390 has a strong reputation for clean power, control, and an easy-going but highly resolving sound that works with a wide range of speakers. If the unit is genuinely clean, well cared for, and includes the original remote, packaging, and any proof of service or provenance, it can still be a solid buy for someone who specifically wants this level of integrated performance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Hegel Music Systems traces its roots to 1988 at the Technical University in Trondheim, Norway, where student Bent Holter founded the company as part of his thesis on revolutionary transistor amplifier design. Targeting distortion—the bane of traditional hi-fi—Holter developed the patented SoundEngine technology, laying the groundwork for Hegel's enduring innovation. From modest beginnings in the early 1990s, with early DACs in 1994 and CD players by 1996, the brand expanded steadily, even hiring engineers amid the financial crisis to pioneer advanced D/A converters.
Hegel's product lineup centers on high-end electronics, excelling in integrated, pre-, and power amplifiers that deliver effortless power and precision. They also produce sophisticated standalone DACs, CD players, and phono stages, emphasizing digital integration and streaming capabilities. Manufacturing occurs in China, while Norway handles all design, circuit development, testing, and software.
Positioned firmly in the high-end hi-fi market, Hegel commands a global reputation for musicality, neutrality, and build quality, with dealers in over 60 countries and accolades like the HiFi+ Innovation Award. Collectors and discerning audiophiles prize its no-nonsense Scandinavian engineering, bridging modern digital demands with analog purity in a competitive boutique landscape.
