Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated

all are good, the levinson however is a classic, and highly sought after

I did not like the 383 despite the rave reviews. I think it is 2 dimensional and grainy after many times listening to it in many different configurations. Frankly (based on reviews) I would expect the Moon to be better...

Have to agree with Phijolet about the 383 sound. Did not live up-to-it's reviews in my system.

As I have a pair of VAs, so I feel I can contribute a bit. I have reviewed several "high-end" integrateds over the years at positive-feedback.com.

Knowing my speakers they way I do, I would suggest you consider the Edge G3 and, if you dare, the YBA Passion Intgre. I think the YBA is a scary good amp, but, mated with the VAs, there could be too much of a good thing....

I wish I could try them now!

I have a pair of Fidelios. I have used them with more then a few amps and two integrated amps. The first was a Cary SLI 80/F1 which was really nice. The second was a Musical Fidelity Tri Vista which was fantastic on all levels. Great detail at low level listening and seemed to put the instruments in the right place. Huge sound stage and never runs out of power. Solid state power with tubes in the pre section. Separate power supply. They made a limited number of them, but they do come up for sale here once and a while. I have found the Fidelios like some horsepower even though they are easy to drive.
