Hello, I once owned the great Parsifals, and at one point, I had the Sim W5 and P5 combo. I think The Moon gear is NOT a good match for the Verity sound. Verity will sound nice with most everything, including Sim Audio, but the potential of the Verity gear is not optimized with Sim compared to, say, Nagra gear. Nagra is more refined and luminous, while the Sim is dark and lacks air by comparison. I also owned the I-5 integrated and frankly, I have never been able to figure out the hype about this unit. Nice build quality, looks ok although long in the tooth by today's more refined italian offerings, the I-5 do have the family sound of Sim- if you like the sound that is. This also goes for the Fidelio, where it's sound is very, very close to the performance of the Parsifal, minus the 25hz bass.
Cheers!
