The latest issue of Stereophile features a glowing review of the @moonbysimaudio 371 network player/amplifier, another one to add to the collection! Stereophile said: "The visual design is simple and elegant. The feature list is comprehensive. The performance is outstanding. Icing on the cake? A 10-year warranty" "Achieving low distortion figures, and a high damping factor, aids in creating an unusually black, low, and uncluttered noisefloor. This has the effect of releasing the music into space as it would happen in live performance." This line amused us, it was written when the reviewer was listening to Ray Charles: "With an assist from the MOON 371, our apartment was transformed into an early-60s Nashville gin dispensary. I couldn't keep from grinnin' and tappin'." If you’d like to read the full (fun) review, the magazine is available now. Contact us for more details about the award-winning 371.
