Moon Audio Referece Integrated vs LSA Signature
Understood...Good luck with your new integrated Revrob. I still find it odd and interesting that this fellow Moon would choose that OEM platform and the exact appearance of the LSA Statement to create his company's integrated. 
Moon Audio Referece Integrated vs LSA Signature
I found my answer. Brian Warford, President of LSA confirms that they are the OEM. He states that this integrated is better than the Standard.Revrob (Threads | Answers)Did you mean better than the LSA Signature? In your original post you were aski... 
Advice on a nice integrated is needed
I've reviewed both the Plinius and a Luxman. No contest. Luxman. Unless you like an ultrabright, detailed, etched, solid state sound. And you'd better have lots of current avialable in your room. It is starved for current. If that sounds like you,... 
anyone else notice the meridian speakers in......
The wife asked me to watch with her last night. Yes I noticed them. Fairly expensive speakers I think compared to that dude's digs. 
Moon Audio Referece Integrated vs LSA Signature
I think the other 2 posters are confusing Sim Audio with Moon Audio. The Moon Audio Reference looks identical to the LSA Statement. I used to own the DK Signature which I thought was a very good integrated. I recently saw the Moon Reference and I ... 
Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier
There are so many great integrateds now that it will come down to what makes the Amatis sound their best to you. Home auditions are next to impossible in the used market but that would be the ideal situation. Your recommendations are all over the ... 
New Hugh Masekela Reissue Is Outstanding
Larryken, I must take back my comments on "Home Is Where the Music Is." I took another listen tonight, and since reconfiguring my system I can now hear more of what you referred to in your original post. There is a "rawness" and soul in the perfor... 
Anyone Know Anything On McIntosh XRT25 Speakers
I've been in your shoes as far as buying speakers that are an expensive purchase without having heard them. Never heard any McIntosh speakers (did used to own the MA6900 integrated). I have gambled and gotten burned more times than I've won in you... 
Advice on a nice integrated is needed
Frankpiet, contact member Guidocorona for comments on the JRDG 500. Since the Accuphase E-550 sounded boring and sterile to you, I'd think something was wrong in that setup. (maybe the amp/speaker match or source) I'd also add the relatively new t... 
A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC?
The Raysonic plays above its retail price and provides balanced performance. It has a little tube magic along with authoritative bass and a clear open sound. Based on the lack of acclaim, I'd say it's one of the underrated high end players on the ... 
Advice on a nice integrated is needed
I prefer integrateds for my use. You can get a fantastic integrated in the price range you are considering. If it were me, I'd include the Accuphase E-450 or E-550, Luxman integrateds, JRDG Continuum 500, and ASR Emitter. Denjo at Audiocircle went... 
New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor
My gosh, it's "lose" the sub not "loose." 
A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC?
Mightyburner, the screw driver is for opening the back of the remote when the time comes for new batteries. In the Raysonic, you have an excellent high value player that will sound better with different tubes and cabling. Once you've listened to i... 
Need to replace my Acurus ACD-11
Hi Luxgon, I own the BCD-1 and honestly, it is not congested. In my system it is very clear and extended top to bottom, with no congestion. Describing it as congested counters my experience with it. It sounds to me like something in the setup was ... 
Treating a small room with diffusers?
My room seems too full to do anything and my seating arrangement is off to one side facing a aide wall to the system so it is a real mess that can't be fixed, at least as long as my wife has a say.
