Moonriver Audio of Malmo, Sweden,  has announced a new model, the 404 Reference integrated amplifier which is the improved version of the Standard model.

Following the release of the Standard Moonriver Model 404 the Reference version moves further, by improving on the design platform of the Standard 404 model. The form, controls, ergonomics and design are similar, but the major difference is found at the heart of the amplifier: the power supplies.

Power Supplies

The power supplies for both preamp and power amp have double the capacitance, which gives an advantage in how the Reference handles the incoming signal.

The Moonriver 404 Reference can drive most speakers in the market. WBT nextgenTM speaker terminals are used and the 404 Reference chassis reduces unwanted resonant vibrations even further with absorbent materials, and better integral mechanical support.
