Moonriver Audio 404 Reference Integrated Amplifier

Moonriver Audio has announced their new 404 Reference integrated amplifier ($4995), which is the improved version of the company’s Standard stereo model. The form, controls, ergonomics, and design are similar, but the major difference is found at the heart of the amplifier: the power supplies. Moonriver Audio’s 404 power supplies for both preamplifier and power amplifier have double the capacitance, which gives a big advantage in how the Reference handles the incoming signal. According to the company, “The dynamic character of the amplifier digs out more detail, and low level information; the sound stage is much deeper and articulate too.”
