At A$18,350, this is far above the normal used market for a Moon 240i, which typically lands around A$2,500–A$3,500 used when converted from common overseas asking prices, with Australian forum examples closer to A$1,700–A$2,200. On that basis, the asking price is not fair value for a used unit; it reads as extremely ambitious unless there’s a major explanation like a bundled system sale, unusual provenance, or a listing error.
That said, the 240i is well regarded for combining a refined preamp stage, strong drive, and the convenience of built-in DAC and phono features in a compact chassis, and it has a solid reputation for musical, controlled sound. If the seller can prove immaculate condition, original packaging, and recent servicing, that helps, but none of that closes the gap to A$18,350—at this price, you’d want to be buying a much higher-tier Moon component, not a 240i.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Moon by Simaudio traces its roots to 1980, when Victor Sima, an audio engineer who emigrated from Israel to Canada, founded Sima Electronique in Quebec with a deliberate mission to craft superior-sounding audio products at accessible prices. Initially targeting professionals, the brand quickly won over audiophiles for its value and sonic excellence. Sima retired in 1994, selling to Jean Poulin, whose leadership elevated the company; by the late 1990s, the premium MOON series emerged from the successful Celeste line, embodying innovation and engineering precision while remaining privately held for unwavering control.
The brand specializes in high-performance electronics, excelling in integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs, and streaming solutions that prioritize musicality and build quality. Hand-assembled in-house with custom chassis and rigorous burn-in testing, MOON products span reference-grade separates to all-in-one systems like the ACE, alongside multi-channel AV amplifiers. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, their focus on pure analog and digital playback delivers cosmic precision and futuristic design.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Moon by Simaudio commands respect among discerning buyers for its clear, natural sound that makes music visceral rather than tweaky. Exported to 45 countries with accolades from Stereophile and The Absolute Sound, it rejects mass-market compromises, offering approachable luxury that bridges specialist hi-fi with broader appeal—vibrantly successful today as a Canadian benchmark for uncompromising performance.
