There are many good audio products that hit all the sonic checkmarks, but very few that transcend the usual descriptors to deliver a feeling of being in the presence of music-makers. The Simaudio MOON i-7 is one of those components. It does all the audiophile things right, but also has a certain intangible quality that makes music listening even more joyful. I experienced a continual sense of discovery and excitement with familiar records, as the i-7 brought the music to life.
