MOON i-5080 Stereo Integrated Amplifier Updated: August 2, 2005    

 
MOON i-5080 Integrated Amplifier

 
Also available with silver faceplate
 
 

 
The MOON i-5080 integrated amplifier combines numerous technologies found in Simaudio MOON preamplifiers and power amplifiers. Offering very high quality sonic perfromance, it represents an affordable alternative to the MOON i-5. Features include remote control operation, 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a preamplifier output.
 
 


 
 
  Significant Design Features:
 
· An oversized power supply
· A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss,
  yielding a much better power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in improved current
  speed and better dynamics
· An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring under 20 inches in length from input RCA's
  to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of interference and producing a
  sonically faster transient response
· Gain section using a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground" that doesn't
  degrade sonic performance regardless of the setting
· One single-ended audio input which bypasses the gain stage to accomodate a component, such
  as a home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead
· Amplifier section using a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, more
  accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation
  distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback
· Class A output to 5 watts to maintain efficiency
· Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio
  frequency spectrum
· Accurate matching of the high quality electronic components
· A symmetrical circuit design
· Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics
· Improved reliabilty through the elimination of moving parts
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
· Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
