Having lived with quite a few Bryston amps in 2ch/7.2ch applications as well as being extremely satisfied with a Moon transport and auditioning other Moon products on a few occasions , I have nothing but respect for both Canadian companies. Solid engineering, great performers and a great bang for the sonic buck. Although I own neither brands at the moment, if I was shopping around for components in their respective price brackets, both brands would be at the top of my list.

If I ever were to leave team McIntosh, it would be for Simaudio MOON. Love their gear.

I went from a McIntosh 6600 with an HD tuner to a Simaudio Moon 700i integrated amp. I am very glad I did. Last edited by Imapo; 06-28-2019 at 08:33 PM. Reason: Fixing worse than usual grammar. |

I am also planning to pull the trigger for Moon Neo350P pre-amp+ 330A, having the same speakers Focal Aria 936. What do you think of this combo (espec. the Neo 350P), still worth buying or would you rather go for the new Moon 390? Thanks for any kind of feedback and input!! cheers Felix |

Best advice I can offer is if you love it DO NOT GO TO THE HI-FI STORE after buying it. LOL |

Hi, thank you so much for your answer and advice!!!
Did you also compare to the integrated one, 340i? If so, what are rhe differences soundwise? Do you miss anything in the sonic signature of the 350P+330A? Heard that some people are complaining that the 350p is somehow "thin" and "lean" sounding. Did you also recognize that? Is the volume adjustment sensitive enough , also with remote control, due to the fact that the 350P has an analogous Poti (of Alps) and given the good efficiency of the Arias (92 dB/W/m)??? Last point: Canada Hifi says in its issue of feb/mar 2015 "that at low volume levels, up to a quarter or less, the soundstage condenses dramatically and dynamics are lacking" Would you agree on that??? Thank you very much for your eypertise!! Greetings Quote:
