| need opinions on new cdp Go for the Supernova. The problem with tiny companies like Audio Aero is that if and when down the road you need parts for service, you'll be out of luck. Or, if the importer changes or there is no more importer all of the sudden, then the resale ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Simaudio Moon P-8 Preamp? Yes, I listened to it at my local dealer. I can't afford it (I use a P-5 at home), but it is the best preamplifier I have ever heard. When Sim claimed quiet, that must have been an understatement. This pre is so quiet you think it's turned off, an... | |
| Has anyone heard Simaudio's CD 5.3? I listened to it yesterday at my dealer. Of course they don't have a Nova anymore as it has been long discontinued, but it sounds great - to my memory the new CD5.3 is more realistic, open and transparent than the Nova. Plus it is built like an ab... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Have you heard of Simaudio's new Moon i-7? It's supposed to kick as, according to Sim, deliberately underpriced for "extreme market penetration" as someone told me. Check it out - I'll bet it will sound excellent. | |
| What preamp goes with sim audio w-5? I have to disagree with Amperidian here. Of course there is a certain amount of personal taste, but the description here is clear that amperidian likes a euphonic, colored, musical sound. In the most part, that's what tubes do. If you play a music... | |
| Classe CA300 vs. Classe CA2200? I disagree with Dodger4, but of course it is a matter of opinion. I used to own older Classe gear, and I've seen them go down the drain with each new series. The new gear is partly made in China, with assembly in Canada, and truthfully, IMHO, the ... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught vs. Simaudio Titan They are both very good - the Dreadnaught has more smoothness, or perhaps you can call it a darker, less detailed sound. I believe with difficult speakers, or any speaker that can play loud and clean and very deep, nothing beats a Titan. It's a be... | |
| Anyone familiar with new Sim Audio Moon Rock amps? I've heard them- they do stomp on W-10s, and they, in my opinion, obliterated the Musical Fidelity kW's - the Rocks has visceral bass, amazingly open midrange and highs that were lightning fast and detailed - it made the kW's sound slow, sluggish ... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 No comparison - the W-10 all the way, and the more affordable W-6's smoke the JC1s. Remember, the Parasounds are built in Taiwan, are not balanced (huge error on Parasound's part) and have a pretty face. They charge $6k because the contractor who ... | |
| Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5? Look at the Sim Moon i-5. In my opinion, it blows away both these integrateds when it comes to sonics, the build quality is far better than the MF, which is partly made in China, has a 10 year warranty and the people there are really nice too. | |
| Bryston B60 vrs Sim Audio I-3 Pertaining to audiokicks above, he is completely wrong - the i-3 has nothing to do with a 5080 (I own a 5080!). The i-3 is new and better in many ways, with a bigger transformer, and a new preamp section, so it sounds bigger and is more powerful t... |
