Moon 861 Power Amplifier

Simaudio builds the 861 around the same MDCA architecture and dual-mono approach used in the 888, in a stereo power amplifier meant to reproduce music without adding coloration.

Two 1,500VA toroidal transformers and 228,000 microfarads of capacitance feed a dual-mono layout with side mounted heatsinks and a MOONLink port for pairing with other North Collection components.
