eBay stuff (Part 1)

Maybe we could send Bumtell on an information gathering junket. No return ticket mind.

I guess they would still have tinternet over there.

That’s him. I’m sure he posted a picture of that organ on the wam.

Even blow up dolls have some standards :rolling_eyes:

Rly, rly like both of these

I’m sure @ICHM would tell me that’s they’re both ā€œclass D shiteā€ but I don’t care.

The Moon is only 50w, but they’re very nice watts.

The Moon has much betterer digital connectivity and does all the streaming mullarkey, which the Gato doesn’t. But would I actually use the streaming? I’m pretty wedded to Sonos, and if I wasn’t I’d probably end up with a NUC running whatever I fancied instead of ā€œhi fiā€ streaming.

The Moon is unheard-of on eBay, and while it’s more expensive, retail has recently gone up from Ā£2800 (which seemed achievable) to Ā£3300 (bastards!).

I dunno.

And if I was single or had a shed I’d be having this

lol

Heard the Moon at Munich, it really is a phenomenal piece of kit even with the price hike (and lets face it, that’s mostly due to Brexit voting morons, not Moon).

I only saw it briefly in Munich, but spent a very long time with it at the Indulgence Show (stoopid name) in London towards the end of last year.

As I said, only 50 watts, but they’re very good watts - the guy from Renaissance Audio had it plugged into a pair of these

for an extremely simple but superb-sounding system. Not a passive pre-amp or SUT in sight :grin:

Nothing wrong with Class-D imo though I’m sure there are good and bad implementations just like with valves or solid state.
I have heard the Gato several times and really liked it, as well as Nuforce, Bel Canto and Kharma…

There is an even nicer Gato 150 amp on there that isn’t Class D if you can afford it.

Golly, that’s quite a thing

I wonder which came first, the Dan D’Agostino or the Gato

OK - the DD is considerably more Captain Nemo, but IMO there’s an undeniable similarity.

That is Hideous.

Where do the beans go? Should that not be in the coffee thread?

Have never heard of these but they look interesting from the description on the manufacturers website.

Some off the wall ugly speakers

I think barge pole is appropriate here.

I heard those RMB22/3 at that very show, they were er…not very good at all let’s say…
