Moon 390 Network Streamer

@skads_187 - I'm purchasing a new Moon 390. Have not come across any used units. I went online and did peak @ the Luna cables. Need to do some research on them. 

@ overthemoon

Great recommendation regarding purchasing refurbished 330A or 400M. Wonder how often Moon has refurbished units.

How does the 2 M400's sound? 

Thanks.

Wow some really positive responses regarding the Moon 390. I'm looking forward to previewing. It was mentioned that it is fairly neutral so will I have to be very selective in cables? Currently have Kubala Sosna cables in my system. Are most of your systems all Moon or varies components? Thanks.

Well Gents, I'm going to purchase the Moon 390. Eventually I need to get a new amp when funds allow. Thinking about the 330A or 400M. Which amps are you using for your set-up? I currently have an.ATI 4005 amp, Marantz AV 7706 processor and Sonus Faber Sonetto V speakers. 

The room is a dedicated HT (Wife uses it about 4 times per week). I want to expand upon 2 channel. Recommended cables (interconnects - XLR) Currently have Kubala Sosna anticipation cables. Thanks for your input. 

My system originally started out as HT (wife uses it all the time). I connected the Moon 390 directly to my ATI 4005 amp and to the analog input on the moon to my Marantz AV7706. Here is the problem, I can listen to 2-channel, but when I watch movies only the center channel works. Left and Right front and rears no sound is available. Anyone incorporating HT with 2 -channel running through the 390? If so, how are you hooking up. Thanks.

I previewed the Moon 330A and 761 yesterday at a local retailer. Components were similar to mine (Moon 390, Sonus Faber Sonetta V G2 (I have the SF Sonetta V) and they used better speaker cables and interconnects). The retailer started with the 330A and went to the 761. Then started with the 761 and went to the 330A. What a significant difference between the two units. Wish I never heard the 761.My question will I be happy with the 330A now that I heard the 761? Significant difference in price.330A ($4,400) 761 ($14,000). So, for you folks that have the 330A are you happy or do you plan to move up to the 761. 761 has more control, better base and authority. It should since it’s in a different league. Willing to wait if I decide on the 761 until I can afford. 

Any help making this decision easier would be appreciated.

Thanks for your response. Sounds like you are extremely happy with the 761.Just peaked at your system and it's extremely nice and a lot better than mine. I agree that the 761 is a lot better than some other amps out on the market. Where did you purchase the 761 and did you preview other brands prior to deciding on the 761?

@overthemoon

Thanks for your response.

I am aware of "Over the Moon" program.

I talked to my local retailer yesterday since I previewed the 330A and 761 last week. I may try to bring home the 330A to preview for a few days and do the same for the 761. He recommended purchasing the 400M unfortunately they do not have any to preview. He said, I can always upgrade to the 761 within the year (over the moon trade in program). 

 When I make a decision, I keep thinking just get the one I really like at first. It would be most economical (not paying taxes on 2 units). I can save $1,200 and put that money towards new interconnects.

Do you have any experience with the 400M amps? Is it sonically better over the 330A?

Thanks for any input. Cheers!!

@ over the moon

You're using the 860AV2 in your system, which probably similar to the 761. I need to decide on one of the 3 units (330A. 400M or 761). The difference in price including tax going from the 400M to the 761 is $4,373. One side of me says bite the bullet now versus later.

Once you purchased the 860A V2 was the wow factor versus the 400m significantly better?
