The Moon 371 is an integrated amplifier with a built-in phono stage from Moon by Simaudio, built with a very high gain figure. Moon by Simaudio is a Canadian manufacturer with a serious reputation for measurement-focused amplifier engineering, and the 371 represents a substantial, feature-rich integrated amplifier within the brand's broader catalogue.
Position in line
It sits alongside the 641 and Neo 340i X in Moon by Simaudio's integrated amplifier range. This positioning alongside the 641 and Neo 340i X suggests Moon by Simaudio offers a graduated integrated amplifier catalogue, with the 371 likely occupying a distinctive tier defined by its particularly high gain figure and built-in phono stage.
Key specs that matter
One balanced and one single-ended input plus phono are provided. Rated output is 2 x 100 W into 8 ohms, doubling to 2 x 200 W into 4 ohms. Gain is 40 dBu, an unusually high figure. Rated bandwidth is 5 Hz to 100 kHz. At 429 x 87 x 385 mm and 9.0 kg it is a compact chassis for its output rating, consistent with Moon by Simaudio's characteristically efficient amplifier topology.
Sound and use context
Expect a controlled, high-gain presentation typical of Moon by Simaudio's engineering approach, with the built-in phono stage covering a turntable directly - the unusually high 40 dBu gain figure here is worth noting specifically, since it may require more careful attention to source-level matching than a more conventionally specified preamplifier stage would need.
Pairing
One balanced and one single-ended input plus phono cover a modest but capable source lineup, sufficient for a system built around a small number of carefully chosen sources rather than an extensive multi-input setup.
Alternatives
The 641 and Neo 340i X sit alongside this model in Moon by Simaudio's integrated amplifier range, worth comparing directly on gain structure and specific connectivity before choosing between these positioned Moon by Simaudio options. Moon by Simaudio extensive dealer network across North America and beyond makes arranging a direct comparison against both the 641 and Neo 340i X practical, helping clarify which specific gain structure and connectivity best suits a particular system. A dedicated ground connection between turntable and this amplifier phono stage remains essential for hum-free operation. Overall this remains a capable, feature-rich choice within Moon by Simaudio integrated amplifier range.
