Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON LP5.3 Phono Preamplifier, our newest addition to the MOON Classic series of audio
components. The LP5.3 offers extensive flexibility through various end-user adjustments that optimize its use with virtually
any phono cartridge available today. As well, we’ve taken extreme design measures to reduce the noise floor while maintaining a very open, neutral and natural sound.
Simply put, the LP5.3 delivers "audiophile" performance in a simple yet elegant and affordable package. Over twenty-five years
of experience in the design and manufacturing of high-performance audio components have paved the way for the MOON LP5.3.
Significant Design Features:
End-user adjustable impedance loading (10, 100, 470, 1K and 47kΩ)
End-user adjustable capacitance loading (0, 100 and 470pF)
End-user adjustable gain settings for moving magnet (40dB) and moving coil cartridges (54, 60 and 66dB)
Selectable equalization curves for both the RIAA and the IEC standards
Large isolated power supply on a separate circuit board with 2 stages of voltage regulation
Optional external power supply upgrade
Single-ended RCA and Balanced XLR outputs
Four-layer PCB tracings with dedicated ground and power planes 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 Evolution Series i²DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering); 1 inductor for each and every IC in the audio circuit’s signal path – 2 stages in all.
Extremely short signal path for a faster transient response.
Accurate matching of the finest high quality electronic components.
Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
