Simaudio Ltd. brings you the MOON Limited Edition series, representing a genuine leap forward in both sonic excellence and physical appearance. The MOON P-5 LE balanced differential Dual-mono Preamplifier employs a class "A" open loop circuit topology, an exceptionally short and a capacitor-free signal path using a fully discrete "shunt to ground" gain stage. The P-5 produces no detectable sonic colorations.

Originally introduced in 1997, the MOON P-5 has garnered many colossal reviews and numerous awards from the global audio press including a long-standing place in the prestigious "class A" category of Stereophile Magazine's "Recommended Components" listing. During's it's illustrious life-cycle, the MOON P-5 has undergone various minor changes on occasion, either as a result of the availability of new and improved parts and/or subtle design changes, culminating in the Limited Edition version.

Unique to the LE version of the MOON P-5 is an entirely redesigned power supply that allows for an even higher level of musical reproduction than before. Superior (and more substantial), filtering, isolation, and regulation plus the addition of inductor filtering has both lowered the noise floor, and increased the channel separation. Sonically, the dynamic range is increased and music emerges from an even blacker background silence than before.

MOON Limited Edition series features include polished chrome accents, a ½" thick brushed & anodized silver faceplate, a custom 2 meter Cardas power cord and a Limited Edition serial number plaque. Beginning in January 2004, we will be producing only 250 units of the MOON P-5 LE.
