There is an exceptional review of the MOON 880M Power Amplifier in the June 2013 issue of Stereophile. Reviewer Brian Damkroger closed out his editorial with the following statements: "Its one of the small number of superamps that are in as close orbit around planet Perfection as today's technology permits. The 880M is an excellent design superbly executed, with a professionalism and attention to detail that promise consistently outstanding performance and long, trouble-free life ... It's the big-time, big-money, big-power, big-everything amp that the MOON Evolution line has lacked, and a fully fledged state-of-the-art amplifier. Highly and very enthusiastically recommended."

The MOON Nēo series has landed! Pronounced "knee-o", and using aesthetics from Evolution Series', the Nēo Series is designed to remind you of the much-more-expensive Evolution Series, but at a fraction of the price. Nēo takes the place of most models previously available in the MOON range, while applying a variety of circuit enhancements to noticeably improve sound quality. Existing MOON series model numbers will not change. However, the new ones will be identified with the word "Nēo". Starting with 6 models, you can expect this series to grow in the very near future.
Both the MiND 180 and MOON 380D DAC with the MiND option have been shipping since early November. Sales have been brisk, to say the very least. That being said, if you want to get in on this exciting new technology, don't wait around; both of these models are selling faster than we can build them! Visit an authorized MOON retailer as soon as you can.

He concluded his review with: "The Simaudio 810LP seems to combine the strengths of some of the
best phono preamps I've heard and reviewed without falling prey to some of their weaknesses ... Simaudio has created an effortlessly musical and
utterly transparent window through which audiophiles can listen to and, more important, connect with their music. The word reference may continue
to relentlessly rain down, but for me, the Moon Evolution 810LP will continue to be the parade."

The 310LP did a fine job of delivering a large, wide and deep stage, with impressive air between and around the players."

Reviewer (and analog guru) Michael Fremer ended off by exclaiming "I loved Simaudio's MOON Evolution 650D." Editor John Atkinson concluded his measurements by stating that "Reading through what I have just written, I see that I have used the adjectivesuperb six times and the phrase state of the art twice. That pretty much sums up the
Simaudio MOON Evolution 650D's measured performance. It's hard to see how it could be any better!"

It's a glitch-free device with an all-important upgrade path for those inspired to stay ahead of the path ... When it comes to the brave new world of digital music, there is seemingly no end in sight. But Simaudio offers an ideal place to begin."

The July 2011 issue of on-line SoundStage! has a very positive review of the MOON 350P.
Reviewer Doug Schneider concluded his editorial with the following statement: "You'll find that the Canadian-made MOON 350P is very well built, thoroughly reliable, backed by a ten-year warranty, rich in features, and painstakingly evenhanded with any kind of music thrown at it. Some preamps are better than the 350P - those that aspire to the state of the art, including models that cost $30,000 or more - but many are far worse. The MOON 350P's biggest achievement isn't that it does one or two things extraordinarily well, but all the things it does very well while never faltering in any aspect of music reproduction. I strongly recommend the Simaudio MOON 350P to those looking for rock-solid performance in every one of those aspects for a reasonable price."

The May 2011 Issue (No. 37) of TONEAudio Magazine features a unique and very welcome review methodology, whereby editor Jeff Dorgay does an in-depth comparison of the MOON 600i and MOON 700i Integrated Amplifiers.
His findings were pretty clear: "Each new Simaudio unit is a stellar example of an integrated amplifier providing a worthy alternative to separates. They both have lightning-fast transient response along with a healthy amount of control, whether reproducing the higher-frequency transients of a cymbal strike or controlling the thwack of a bass drum. While some solid-state amplifiers offer too much detail, the 600i and 700i achieve the balance of high detail without being harsh or fatiguing - a minor miracle on its own ... Along with a neutral, clean tonality, both amplifiers have considerable dynamic punch and headroom that go beyond their power ratings ... The key word here? Refinement. Such welcome polish makes it easy to believe you are listening to separate components ... these are both great amplifiers and easily the equal, if not the better of any comparably priced separates I've heard. The 700i possesses even more refinement than the 600i, and its extra power will drive more speakers."

The online publication Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity just posted a great review of the MOON 700i Integrated Amplifier. Reviewer Greg Zakrzewski wrapped up his editorial with the following statement: "The 700i is an impressive example of the genre. Enough power for the average user, some future proofing with the pre-outs and bypass feature plus one if not the best gain control schemes in the business. Great aesthetics that speak to it's quality and functional attributes vs. glare and gloss. Oh and gorgeous, clean sound that I will remember."

Doug Schneider finished the review off with the following statement: "If Simaudio's Moon Evolution 650D DAC-transport were just another digital source that sounded like pretty much everything else out there, there would be no reason for it to exist, and certainly no reason for anyone to spend $9000 for one. What sets the 650D apart isn't so much its build quality or features (though those are very good) as its distinctive sound, which is like nothing else I've heard. The 650D was able to resolve the finest details -- it's hyper-revealing -- with the most musical and nonfatiguing sound I've heard from any digital source. The 650D's soul is as analog as it is digital." |

Along with a neutral, clean tonality, both amplifiers have considerable dynamic punch and headroom that go beyond their power ratings ... The key word here? Refinement. Such welcome polish makes it easy to believe you are listening to separate components ... these are both great amplifiers and easily the equal, if not the better of any comparably priced separates I've heard. The 700i possesses even more refinement than the 600i, and its extra power will drive more speakers."

SoundStage! HiFi just posted an excellent review on the The MOON 400M Mono Amplifiers. Doug Schneider (reviewer and Soundstage! publisher) was so taken by their performance that he awarded them a "Reviewer's Choice". He concluded his review with the following thoughts: "The 400M's prodigious output capability means that it can easily drive large speakers ... but it's able to do so with the refinement and detail that many associate with much smaller amps. The 400M also has the sound that, until now, I'd heard only in Simaudio's Moon Evolution models: a sweet, golden top end; smoothness, purity, and presence in the midrange; and rich, robust bass. Put that all together and the 400M sounds open, grand, and majestic -- the opposite of an amp that sounds closed-in, sterile, and lean." |

The online publication Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity just posted a great review of the MOON 700i Integrated Amplifier. Reviewer Greg Zakrzewski wrapped up his editorial with the following statement: "The 700i is an impressive example of the genre. Enough power for the average user, some future proofing with the pre-outs and bypass feature plus one if not the best gain control schemes in the business. Great aesthetics that speak to it's quality and functional attributes vs. glare and gloss. Oh and gorgeous, clean sound that I will remember."

The MOON 700i Integrated Amplifier appears on the front cover of the March 2011 issue of Stereophile. Inside the magazine, beginning on page 72, is an excellent review by Fred Kaplan, where he constantly alluded to its lifelike performance, summed up best by the following statement: "... no single aspect of the music drew untoward itself. To a degree that has been rarer in my 25 years of reviewing than you may think, I found myself drawn deeper into the music ... This, I think, is the hallmark of a high-end component that you can live with over the long haul, after you've grown accustomed to any initially thrilling novelties of its sound."

The MOON 600i Integrated Amplifier appears on the front cover ofthe February 2011 issue of The Absolute Sound. Editor Robert Harley was so impressed that the opening caption for the review is "Forget everything you know about integrated amplifiers". He concluded the review as follows: "The Simaudio MOON 600i is simply a great product in every way - design, execution, tactile feel, ergonomics, and musical expressiveness ... If you want the sound quality of a separate preamplifier and power amplifier in a compact, beautifully engineered package, I can't think of a better choice than the MOON 600i."

The unit used for the cover - a 30th Anniversary Limited Edition with Ferrari red paint, chrome faceplate
and chrome accents - was not the same unit Robert used for his review; the listening sample was a standard
production version with a black chassis and brushed/anodizeded aluminum faceplate.
