Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated

all are good, the levinson however is a classic, and highly sought after

I did not like the 383 despite the rave reviews. I think it is 2 dimensional and grainy after many times listening to it in many different configurations. Frankly (based on reviews) I would expect the Moon to be better...

Have to agree with Phijolet about the 383 sound. Did not live up-to-it's reviews in my system.

As I have a pair of VAs, so I feel I can contribute a bit. I have reviewed several "high-end" integrateds over the years at positive-feedback.com.

Knowing my speakers they way I do, I would suggest you consider the Edge G3 and, if you dare, the YBA Passion Intgre. I think the YBA is a scary good amp, but, mated with the VAs, there could be too much of a good thing....

I wish I could try them now!
