Does anyone have experience with moon north amps- the 761 or 861

particularly interested in mono mode

looking to match with Sonus Faber speakers, DCS dac  and Octave Audio Jubilee preamp

your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

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 

I have the SIM audio 861 and comparing it to the 761 everything is just that much better the separation, air and space between the instruments decay of the echo, the voice sounds more human and I think my estimation was wrong now that I've had it for a while I think it's even more than 25% better than the 761, because of the MDCA circuitry this is the only amp that I know of that has no local or global feedback and I believe that this amp will beat amps in the 40 to $60,000 range from any other company It's that good. Lookout Boulder and Gryphon.

Zuesman that is great! Happy you love the 861 so much. I’m also smiling b/c that implies, by your calculations, the 761 beats amps in the 0.75 x 60,000 = 45,000 range ( it’s about 75% as good as the 861). I have never heard a 45k amp, much less had the opportunity to directly compare such amps in my specific system, so I can’t comment, but I can say the 761 is phenomenal across the board and has beautiful synergy with ATC. I also found that the 761 responds well with a DPS 4.1 power cable. Happy tunes!
