HFA Awards

About the ranking order

Ever since I started HFA, people have been asking about a “Bestenliste”. Made familiar by the German magazine “Audio”, the Bestenliste is a Ranking Order of best-performing products. The difficulty with such lists is that I feel that there are too many factors at play to be able to pronounce any product as best, let alone hand out points.

The audio hobby involves mixing and matching and a drive to find the component that makes the perfect fit for a given situation. Especially if it has a strong character, that component may work superbly synergistically in that context even if it may work less spectacularly in another system. Thus, the measure of success is relative and often subject to taste.

The HFA ranking order reflects how well-liked the components are relative to one another, based on my personal preferences and irrespective of the retail price. Thus, HFA Favorites and Highly Recommended items appear in all price classes.

Although I strive to be as objective as possible, the reality is that my personal taste and system synergy will always play a role. Therefore, the list should be considered as an inspirational guide, not as a definitive ranking. In my reviews, I will always add perspective. That’s why it is meaningful to also read the associated review(s) after consulting the list.

What’s included in the list?

Only products that have been listened to in the controlled HFA environment are included, and then, only those that I feel are worth mentioning. As it follows, the below is not a complete index of all the articles on HFA.

Please note that this list is frequently updated to always reflect the latest state of affairs as well as my most recent personal preferences. As I hear more products and gain new insights, the order of the products may change over time. Awards are valid for at least 1 year, but after that, they may change. For instance, a product may change from “Favorite” to “Highly Recommended” if no longer a part of the HFA inventory, or it may lose its award if it is sufficiently overshadowed by the competition.

About the Awards

An honorable award for those exceptional products that had such a profound impact that they made a lasting impression.

The Best of the Best, the Cream of the Crop, the Dogs Bullocks. These are the products that, for me, define the state of the art.

Highly Recommended Products that have also been made part of the HFA Associated Equipment inventory to be used as references for all reviewing purposes.

The most-loved products in each price category that are recommended for short-listing. Similar to HFA Favorites except that they are not part of the HFA Associated Equipment inventory.

Prices

The quoted numbers below are retail prices in Euro, at the moment of review. Some products do not have European price lists and in these cases, another currency is shown. Where tax is not included in the retail price, this is mentioned. Classics can only be found second-hand and therefore do not have the prices mentioned.
