Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals
I have the 700i integrated and it loves my Sopra 2’s. Same tweeters you have. Should be a great pairing for you!,

I’ve had the same TT for many years and have never had any issues like you describe. I know this doesn’t help you but at least you know it’s not a common occurrence, good luck with finding a solution.

Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks

Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC

@sizzitrail84 what I’m hearing is as follows: very big sounstage, wider; deeper and more depth. sounds develop from a black background, fills out with weight and decays back into the background.    every instrument is placed in the soundstage w... 
New Review on Pine Tree Audio cables
 I Have their USB braided cable. Sounds great and solid construction.  
Pairing streamer
