Simaudio Neo 400M vs. Parasound JC-1

I am interested in feedback on the Simaudio 400M monoblocks vs. the Parasound JC-1. The JC-1 is an older design that is very well known and loved. There is a lot less feedback on the 400M's (and Simaudio stuff in general), however, the few reviews I found said the 350P+400M sounds great.

I currently use a Simaudio 340i integrated amp with Monitor Audio PL300 speakers. I do like the 340i in general so I was thinking of a lateral move to the Simaudio 350P pre-amp in conjunction with the switch to monoblocks.

Any comments on the 400M's vs the JC1's ?

thanks

I have demoed the JC1's, and currently own a pair of Moon Neo 400M's...and can tell you the Moons are beyond sick.

I prefer the sound of the Moon monoblocks...but at the end of the day it is truly subjective, and down to the listener.

Listen to both if you can....but you really cant go wrong with Moon amps....and don't get me started on the Evolution monoblocks....which give ANY amp a run for its money.  Cool thing is there is a lot of trickle down in the "cheap" $9000 Moon Neo 400Ms from the Evo line....so the sound is much more similar than different.
