Default Moon 888

No problem for 888 to play soft musics. Very nice.
Now I think I know the main difference between these two amps.
Both are musical and powerful.
With Gryphon, I can sit back, relaxed and enjoy reading while listening to Class A biased sound and not quite aware of what was working behind, making this music.
With Moon, all music was more exciting. I really can’t do something else, I had to put down my iPad to have Wow moment ! Music had more wow to it. More interesting, inviting me to listen to all the details in the recording. In the mean time, it was not analytical per se, all were still beautiful musics. There was no uh-0h moment which was the case when I tried Soulution 725 preamplifer with Mephisto, where sometimes on some recording, it was just unlistenable. This was never be the case with Moon 888 driven by ARC ref 40. I like this amp a lot.
Too bad I will never able to try Hercules II from Constellation. Wanna do some comparison on this new, to me, price point amplifier.
