PS audio or Moon


Ive been on a search to upgrade my HT system for better music listening. Im looking at the Moon 390(if i can find one used), PS Audio Stellar Strata, or a PS Gain Cell Dac + a Bluesound Node x or Vault 2i.  Any one have opinions on these options?

Thanks Jb. You live in Gods country. So beautiful. Was out therefor the first time a few months ago. Went to the Rocky Mountain National Park...friggin awesome. Kinda puts crap  into perspective. I wanted to get to PS but didnt. Great company. Kinda just want to own something from them but i realize that may not be whats best for me so im leaning towards moon.

 

And you Mr Soix....please dont tell me how stupid i am again.  I value your input. Please remember im new. 

My system started RECENTLY as a marantz cinema 60 and in wall B&W Left and Right,  B&W center and rear ceiling surrounds. Ive always been a critical listener so i quickly realized that my new system wasnt so good for music. Was ok,  not good. Wife agreed so i bought paradigm 100f towers and a anthem mca 325gen 2 amp.  Made a big difference...now i got the bug and want  better. And, heeding your advice, i set out on a mission to get my crap ass marantz cinema 60 out of my 2 channel path and at the same time leave room for growth.  So here i am again looking for input.  Thanks for any input. 

Hi @sandrodg73, I have owned all of the PS Audio equipment and the BS models you mentioned.  I agree with Jb, PS and Paul are friendly, kind, helpful and  have great customer service.  And it is beautiful country!  But i do not think any of those components are in the league of Moon.  As I stated, I used to own the others.  Good luck!  Ken

Another vote that PS Audio is not on the same box as Moon… not even close. I’ve had a few PS Audio pieces and they are “ok” but the Moon gear is steps above, hands down.

TMR has 2 390’s offered currently. Top notch company…
