Anyon have experience with Moon River Reference 404 Integrated?

I didn't bother to mention it, but the Moonriver is a very handsome amp.  I never get tired of looking at it.

I agree!  I think it looks great. So much stuff out there just doesn't do it for me aesthetically.  So many expensive items just look boring. This thing is beautiful. The Swedes are good at this. 

The problem with high end audio design is that the look does not represent the quality - among other things. The most expensive amps look like a botched high school project of a box for something. "Engineering" taste....

@grislybutter   Soooo well put. 
 

3/4 items look like lame boxes to me. 

yes, 3/4th sounds about right. I would love to have a list of beautiful amps, the same way I collated https://speakerchoices.com/index.html

But I know so little about amps, I should stay away from it.
