Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character

I am curious about this hybrid amp. I very briefly saw it at the HE show in NYC, last year. I just read the (overall favorable) review that was just released in TAS.

I am looking to hear from those who own this amp, or have taken advantage of Moscode's generous in-home audition.

How would you describe this amp's sound?
Does it sound like a tube amp?
Does it sound like a solid state amp?
Does it sound like the best of both worlds...warm "tube" richness, with solid state authority & slam?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Let me try where Asa failed, Tvad.

Do you think this is the last amp you will ever buy?

Ha! One never says never in this hobby. An amp change can be prompted by other circumstances...speaker change, financial considerations, audiophilia nervosa.

I am very happy with my system and with the Moscode 401HR, and at this time I have no desire or intention to replace it.

I would love to have a shootout between the 401HR and the Atmasphere Mk1 2.3.

Greggadd,

I just sold my BAT VK-600SE and Dodd 120's as I preferred the Moscode 401HR over both.

I agree with Tvad in that I have no desire to try other amps and I am extremly happy with the Moscode.

George I'm glad you are happy with the 401HR. After about 150 hours it will come into it's own. I think it takes about six months for a marraige to occur between the owner and component. By then you will realize the smart move you made.
