FYI,

Both Arthur Powers & TSAV’s customers on the Niimbus that didn’t receive the remote control will have them in a matter of days. Our shipping department is closed today so we will ship them out tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience

Yes it converts to a balanced signal path on the output stage

Mediahound and Jason
Thanks for the replies

Hey Jason
The British are coming!

PS since you sell both I believe you are allowed to comment - comparison between the Moon 430HA and the V281 and new Nimbus?

 

[TSAVJason]

What is your NAIM again? Hahaha

Hmmm the 430 is great and has great dark space (very low noise) it’s clean and very nicely detailed.

The 281 is great and a great value. It has a very natural warm delivery without sacrificing any detail in the mids and highs. It’s a toss up as to which is better. The 430 may be a little more analytical than the 281 but the 281 would have just a hair more emotion in it’s delivery.

The Niimbus is an animal. It can accommodate any headphone and surprisingly pairs well with every headphone I’ve tried on it. The 430 & 281 are close in that aspect of the Niimbus but they are not quite there. The Niimbus didn’t blink at all on hard to drive cans. It also has amazing dark space and amazing resolution. It would be my opinion the Niimbus allows the headphone to do all it is designed to do and then some.

Hope that helps Gregg

Helps quite a bit Jason.
Key words "more emotion in its delivery"
when compared to the 430.

I assume the Nimbus will be on display at NY in two weeks. I am looking forward to comparing it with the new GSX Mini (which will also internally convert SE to balanced).

The Moon is slotted in my two channel system and uses the Linn sources. I want something a little more "lively".

Only the "+" model has a remote for the volume?

Are you making the trip out?

Hello again Gregg,

Unfortunately we can’t do CanJam NYC this year. We’ve got part of our team out with personal issues that makes it impossible to go and keep the company open.

The Niimbus will be there with MrSpeakers. We sent them one to show. I’m sorry I’ll miss my east coast friends but my employees wellbeing in this case is very important to us. I’ll be there is spirit and support.

Ask Arthur if he can go? He’s in New Jersey a stones throw from Manhattan.

 

[gordec]

Would you say Niimbus has similar sound signature as V281 or it's completely different?

Similar but improved. Not completely different for sure.

@ken6217 Thanks for the suggestion.

The team at MrSpeakers requested the opportunity and are becoming an online dealer for all 3 lines, so since Dan and his team are so trusted in the industry we went with them in our absence. That’s not to say Arthur isn’t trusted, he is. It’s just the way the cards fell this time around. You can guarantee we won’t be missing anymore CanJam’s this year. We really enjoy the headgear community and are bummed we can’t go.

I'll try to make it out to Canjam Socal then. And, I missed listening to the Niimbus, I went back into the room and listened to the GSX-mini with the Susvara. it was awesome!!!!

One thing i rly dont Understand is why they use these cheap Neutrik Sockets instead of Furutech or Something better or does they dont metter what i cant believe. 5000€ Amp with 2€ Socket, that rly dont match.
Viborg parts could be a good Price point with better Quality.

That is one thing i Hate about my RKV3 from AudioValve, just Cheap Crap Parts used, they NEED a Reason for theyr "IVORY" Amps i think lol.

I thought Neutrik XLR connectors were the professional standard.

What’s the difference? It’s pretty much an industry standard. Is it not going to last as long? Are you saying a doesn’t sounds good? The answer is no to both.

 

[VerloK]

Thats not the Point, its sounds good but maybe it could Sound Better with Better Parts.
Neutrik uses Brass and thats not the best Material. Thats my Point.

But brass doesn’t oxidize and is equally conductive as copper.
