Press Release:   MOON LP3 Phono Preamplifier

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 05/11/2007


... The leading edge in music & film reproduction  


Simaudio launches the MOON LP3
Phono Preamplifier


MOON LP3 Front

Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON LP3 Phono Preamplifier, our newest addition to the MOON Classic series of audio components. Based on its big brother, the MOON LP5.3, the MOON LP3 represents a significant step forward in affordable phono preamplifier design. Great detail has been paid to noise levels and dynamic range, making it one of the quietest phono preamplifiers at its price level. Sonically, it portrays all the Simaudio hallmarks: clean, powerful, fast and extended bass combined with an open midrange and airy extended high frequencies. One of the strengths of the LP3 is its flexibility with respect to end-user adjustments for resistance and capacitance loading as well as gain; changing your cartridge will not force you to change your phono preamplifier. As well, unlike most of the competition, which either uses mass-manufacturing techniques or a circuit mounted in a basic folded metal box, the MOON LP3 is housed in an ultra compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with a brushed and anodized front panel.


“Over 25 Years of Excellence”


Significant Design Features:

  • End-user adjustable impedance loading (100 and 47kohms).
  • End-user adjustable capacitance loading (0 and 100pF).
  • End-user adjustable gain settings for moving magnet (40dB) and moving coil cartridges (60dB).
  • External power supply.
  • Two-layer PCB tracings using pure copper for low impedance characteristics. The advantages include better circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Power supply voltage regulation incorporates Inductive DC Filtering for a significantly lower noise floor.
  • Accurate matching of military-grade components with ultra-tight tolerances using surface-mount technology for extremely short signal paths.
  • Compact, rigid all-aluminum chassis with gold-plated RCA connectors.
  • Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
