| 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... | |
| McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives? @emergingsoul I am a big fan of SF and have owned MAC gear. For me the answer is yes and I am not clear if my preferences are changing or the new products are advancing. An example of this is I heard Wilson’s new Watt Puppy - I was impressed. ... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? I don’t believe you are crazy. I have a good relationship with a local stereo shop - and I go there for all my purchases (new or used). They deliver, set-up and stand by the product. On demos I get the warranty and in some cases manufacturers ... | |
| Diving into balanced I personally have decided to go with balanced interconnections are minimal distances. My system (Moon) is designed for balanced interconnections are this results in a 6db gain for the signal. I have decided to use shortest distance. It saved... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Humans have figured out how to adopt new technologies since the stone age. Will AI compose and produce a series of sounds with melody - sure. Will it be compelling? Highly doubtful without some human intervention. I believe AI may allow a pe... | |
| All around headphone amp recommendations I second the Moon 430HAD. If you are looking for something portable Chord Mojo2 is impressive for the money. | |
| Solid State Power Amps Here’s my $0.02… I would listen to Audio Research (like the 160S) and Moon by Simaudio 861 in addition to your list. I’ve own McIntosh and loved it and when it was time to upgrade was impressed with Audio Research for its transparency and dri... | |
| Luxman 509x or Simaudio 600iV2 with mágico A3. I haven't heard Luxman and Moon with Magico - though I have listened to them through Wilson. I've been impressed with both. My perception is Luxman has slight warmth compared to Moon. If I was you, I'd try to get an in home trial because I th... |
