Description

Description of Freakuence!
The moon orbits the Earth, and Moon is all about music. Out-of-this-world poetry—fantastic, even beautiful. The Moon 250i v1 is an amplifier that treats your ears to a rich and natural sound. Elton John’s “Hercules,” for example, sounds wonderful, with its acoustic guitar, drums, and piano all finding their own space. Rougher tracks, like those by Entombed, are reproduced smoothly. This thing presents music in such a way that you’ll want everyone out of the room so you can keep listening.

With six line inputs, including a convenient 3.5mm mini-jack on the front for portable music players, the Moon 250i v1 offers versatile connection options. There is also a headphone jack on the front panel. MOON’s proprietary bipolar output transistors provide enhanced bass response and accurate sound reproduction. The design without cooling fins and aluminum chassis contribute to efficient heat dissipation and long life.

Reviews & awards | Moon 250i v1

Hi-Fi News & Record Review (February 2023)

Summary of their review: The MOON 250i is a fully analog integrated amplifier with no digital inputs or DACs, giving it an “old-school” profile with little frills, but nonetheless strong in what it does—especially musical midrange, engagement, and powerful yet controlled bass.

HiFi and Music Source (September 2022)

Summary of their comments: particular praise for the upgrade options available through the MOON portfolio; the amplifier delivers a spacious soundstage, good soundstage presentation, rhythm, and emotion; less convincing at very high volumes or with metal-style material, where it falls a bit short in terms of precision.

StereoNET (May 2022)

Summary: The 250i is described as an amplifier that, at first glance, appears understated and free of theatrical frills, but suddenly reveals its power when playing challenging music: detail, dynamics, and instrument separation are excellent, even during demanding passages.

Hi-Fi Choice (September 2012)

Summary: Build quality and finish receive high praise; the 250i strikes an excellent balance between energy and musicality without exaggeration; time-domain response and dynamics exceed expectations within this price segment; the only point of criticism is the sense of distance that sometimes arises with the most important elements in more complex music.

Alpha-Audio (integrated amplifier roundup, November 2022)

Summary: Opinions within the editorial staff vary, particularly regarding bass reproduction and the stereo image; some perceive warmth and a sense of life in the saxophone sound, while others find that instruments get somewhat lost in the reverberation and that the dynamics are slightly more subdued than desired; measurements show that it does not excel in sophisticated technical specifications such as channel separation, distortion at low input volumes, and response below 20 Hz.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
