The Simaudio MOON 850P

[TONEAudio Magazine]

<div class="entry-content" readability="51">
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8574" title="sim" src="http://www.tonepublications.com/media/sim.jpg" alt="" width="592" height="443" />In issue #53, we reviewed the Simaudio Moon 880M monoblocks, that produce a staggering 800 watts per channel, with the delicacy and control of a small amplifier.</p>
<p>To make a long story short, the pair makes one of the best high power amplifiers we’ve ever heard at any price. To make a long story long, download #53 and read our review….</p>
<p>The matching flagship, MOON 850P preamplifier is equally stunning. *It’s two chassis design maximizes power supply design and minimizes noise, be it electrical or vibrational. It goes without question that the 850P and the 880Ms make quite a statement.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for issue #55, where we will have a full report. *But they are good. Oh, so very good.</p>

Jeff, thanks for the review. I have owned a MOON pre in the past, P7... & was impressed with the finnish & sound of the unit.

I love my 750D, P-8 and W-7. Among the best in solid state for a reasonable price. And the 10-year warranty is nice.

Sadly, all are now available on audiogon.

Thanks Jeff, I've owned Moon equipment in the past, it's just excellent gear !! It's amazing how much great gear comes out of Canada !

Jeff,

I look forward to your review. I have owned the 850P for a little over a year and find it to compete well against the Ayre KX-R. I currently have it in my study system but shares time in my 2 channel room swapping out the Ayre KX-R...would love to evenutally consider for a small 2 channel only system possibly with the 880M amps. When I ordered mine....I requested triple black...so the wings and legs are also black. Here is a pic in the study system. In the pic I am one 555PSDR short...but it arrived a few days after the picture was taken.

[Also waiting for your Vivaldi review...updated the app beta/network software last night...I really like the units...I expect you will too]
