Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps

Thanks to you both. I used a moon 390 for several years and have a moon phono stage. I’ve been very pleased with simaudio products But have not had a chance to hear anything from the new north collection.

The primary reason I would consider mono is to maybe get a little improvement in the soundstage, but the amp certainly has plenty of power. Happy to hear the positive review.

Thank you for that perspective. My room has been professionally treated, and I think it is set up reasonably well, although there are some factors that are hard to address.
I’ve never owned monoblocks so I don’t have firsthand knowledge, but have heard that monos would make a significant difference in soundstage which is an important factor for me. If the difference would not be significant, I would prefer the simplicity of a stereo amp  I would be interested in how you reach your conclusion if you don’t mind sharing. Again, thanks for your perspective.

Thanks. All of that makes sense. I'm in the beginning stages of thinking about this, but like simaudio. Was thinking about dual 761s or a single 861. The 861 should certainly have more than enough power and I rarely listen at level above 85 dbl. Does the 861 incorporate improvements over the 761 other than having more power?

Thoughts on any of this are appreciated.

Thanks for asking the question Craig, I’m interested in that too. You have a very impressive system. I Auditioned the 761 in my system, Looking to improve on my Michii S5. I could not hear an improvement, certainly not one I would write the check for. I like simaudio equipment And was hoping this would be a keeper, but for me, it was not even though I’m sure it’s a fine amp. I keep trying to improve on what I have, but I think the Michi  maybe punches above its weight. I’d certainly be interested in the 861, however, if it is the kind of improvement described and would be very interested in the answer to your question from someone with experience.

I will and I hope to hear the 861. I had a simaudio 390 in my system for a long time and currently use a simaudio phono stage. Simaudio builds good, high quality stuff. I’m a fan
