| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution I have had great success with Moon Simaudio amplifiers with SF speakers - I currently have a 700i driving SP Concertos and it is a completely effortless combination. I have heard the 700i driving more challenging loads like the SF Evos and it work... | |
| Product: Sonus Faber Concertino Domus Bookshelf Speakers; w/ Stands The prices for the speakers that other have quoted are about right for them when they were new. There were two versions of the stand - height adjustable and non-height adjustable. The Concertinos remain sought after on the used market, especially... | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! I am really surprised by the complete lack of mention (up til now) of the Moon Simaudio MiND 2. It is a brilliant streamer with great sound quality and it is right in your budget at US$2,400. The Moon app is more than acceptable and integrates ni... | |

| Streamer/dac …. Organic/euphonic sound signature +1 on the Moon 280D @akg_ca. I had it for a couple of years and liked it so much that I upgraded to the Moon 650D and the Moon MiND2. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated I am very happy with my MOON Simaudio 700i integrated (current retail £15.5k or $16k). If I have one very, very minor grumble I would like a second balanced input. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. The article that I read (HiFi Pig) quoted the owners and administrators that MQA had gone into administration as part of a process to facilitate its sale and continuation, including with new systems and technology. Sadly I do not think we have se... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ I had the 340i with my original SF Concerto. I never felt that it lacked sound stage and absolutely loved that amp. However, when I upgraded to the 700i everything improved radically (as you would hope and expect. I did hear to 600i in a demo re... | |
| Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 I would also suggest listening to the Moon 700i v2. | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) Perhaps @Tony1954, I might suggest a slight modification to your statement "The problems start when people start trying to think for themselves and become some sort of mental tofu." | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer I'll second @jbuhl's suggestion of the Moon Ace. I will also add that if you do not need the analogue input and amplification functions, the Moon 280D is a fabulous unit also, and a small but useful step up from the Moon Ace. | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? I’ll second @rauliruegas’s recommendation for the Moon 610LP. I have the Moon 310LP/320S combination and it is absolutely brilliant; I heard the 610LP recently and it is a very significant step up in SQ. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k While I have no doubt re the poster (@akg_ca) suggesting Nordost sounded bright in his system, the bottom line is that cables are highly system dependent. Indeed, the description of his system would lead me to the conclusion that Nordost might not... | |
| RIP Tom Verlaine One of the greats! Television, and TV himself in particular, were hugely influential in the UK New Wave. Marquee Moon has been spinning on the tirntable inour house for most of sunday afternoon. | |
