| Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked Trust your ears! Wilson makes great speakers and I don't many of their models to other brands (I do think the new Watt Puppys are incredible but they are also almost $40k). The amplification does have an impact on the sound - if you don't own Mc... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I’ve been able to hear many ‘high end systems’. In my experience there is a correlation between price and sound at a macro-level that can make the difference in the experience from interesting to awe inspiring. Electronics have their own chara... | |
| Streamer apps critical Bluesound is awesome!I considered keeping a Node just for the interface. Moon’s MiND 2 is very good Tidal Connect is not to bad either I enjoy Roon for the ‘liner notes’ type of data. | |
| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles Here’s what I am noticing - we all have preferences. I have experienced differences in systems and various components in my system (including cables). Ultimately I trust folks reading this are enjoying music as much as more than they ever have. | |
| Doozy of an amp question @roxy1927 I'm sure there's a controversy with some. Moon has a history of designing amps for bridging via selector switches on the rear. It's just one option as there are many excellent options shared by others on this thread. | |
| Doozy of an amp question Fuel for thought- regarding 761 vs 861… If you want to pilot the sound consider buying a 761 and if it doesn’t fit your needs (i.e. want a little more) buy a second and run them in mono. | |
| Doozy of an amp question I haven’t heard the specific amps but I have owned McIntosh C2600/MC 302 and currently Moon /Simaudio 791/860A V2. The Moon is more dynamic and detailed than McIntosh in my opinion. It was an upgrade to me. I believe the Moon amp sounds ‘clo... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps @kerrybh if 85 dBs is your typical listening level I believe the 791 will work extremely well for you. Also consider the dimension of the amplifies - the 861 may not fit easily on your rack based on weight or dimensions. | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps @kerrybh I used to have a 390 - I think it's a wonderful unit. I was shocked at the difference in sound when I swapped two M400s with for a 860A v2. It's an upgrade in every way even though I went dual amps to a stereo amp. I believe the 761 ha... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps I've only heard the 761 in stereo, two systems paired with the 791: Sonus Faber Amanti Wilson Watt Puppy I have been impressed by the 761 - detail, finesse and dynamics. Given the price difference between the 761 and 861 and the physical di... | |
| Two 330A versus one 860A? I’ve own two M400 (the mono version of the 330) and upgraded to the 860A V2. Note I’m referring to the 860A v2. The items are not equal. The power transformers and capacitors capacity is significantly higher within the dual mono 860A v2. The res... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! I believe there are some excellent options- CH Precision, Boulder and others and I am biased to Audio Research when cost is no option. Audition, audition and audition some more. It was valuable in me understanding my preferences. Ultimately we... | |
| Biwiring make any sense? My experience is it depends. I have listened to different cables and ultimately chose Kimber Kable bifocals XL. I am positive with enough time I could have found another excellent solution. Enjoy your journey! | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection Luxman and Moon both make excellent gear. In my listening I perceived the Luxman a bit warmer when listening through Wilson Yvette’s. Enjoy our journey. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? I appreciate the comments of individuals regarding music and performance. In many ways there is lots of artificial replicated music - a radio station, mp3, vinyl and streaming are all recordings. The difference between a recording and performa... |
