From Here to the (Simaudio) Moon


The world of high-end audio and video is littered with dozens of companies that burst onto the scene with the latest and greatest gizmodifier, and then disappear almost overnight.

Lucky for us audiophile types, some companies are able to grow and thrive, while delivering quality products for our ears and eyes. One such company is Simaudio.

A Canadian company, Simaudio began producing products in 1980 and hasn’t looked back since. Their early claim to fame was excellent integrated amplifiers – a preamplifier and amplifier in a single chassis – such as the PW-3000 from the mid-80’s. From there the product line expanded into separate amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players and now home theater electronics as well. In 1997 the reference-grade Moon line of products was introduced, taking performance up yet another notch.

There is quite a bit to like here – excellent sonics, superior build-quality and reliability, and an elegant design aesthetic. Even their customer service has a great reputation.

High end audio is a very personal journey, in that every individual has a different “ear”, or different perception of what they are listening to. That being said, quality with some manufacturers can be a constant, and Simaudio is one of the companies that the Connoisseur recommends. Every “ear” will appreciate what they do, and maybe you will find the component that you just can’t live without!
