Setup and installation
Contents
We connect the Sonnet Morpheus via rca to the 250i v2. Our streamer is connected to the dac via i2s and our CD transport via AES/EBU with the Mutec in between. We only used the Revel speakers during this test because they let the Moon shine even brighter.

Hey Geoffrey, excellent and informative review. Thanks for the hard work. This Moon is now on my radar screen, largely thanks to Martijn’s stellar advice. Can you tell me which Revels those are: 106 or 126be? Gracias

Very nice amp and review! I really like Moon products for their looks, build quality, sound and 10 year guarantee. Especially the products without a display. Because even really expensive equipment sounds best when the display is switched off. Interestingly the 250i v2 sounds more open than the 600i v2. More expensive equipment closer to the edge are probably more demanding and sensitive to cabling, loudspeaker choise etc.
I don’t understand the limited power (at the cons) when the sound quality is 100% it must be stable than.
