Press Release:   MOON P5.3 Stereo Preamplifier
 

 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 01/06/2007
 
Simaudio launches the
 
MOON P5.3
 
Differential Stereo Preamplifier
 
 
MOON P5.3 Stereo Preamplifier
 

Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON P5.3 Preamplifier. Following in the footsteps of the legendary and award-winning P-5 and representing a complete overhaul of earlier MOON Classic series preamplifiers, it employs numerous technologies from our Evolution series; Call it "trickle down technology" if you will - the audio circuitry is based on the MOON P-7 preamplifier. A balanced differential stereo design, the P5.3 produces absolutely no sonic colorations, incredible transparency, and a very high signal-to-noise ratio. As well, it is loaded with a variety of features such as five line-level inputs, a user-configurable “home-theater ready” input, an IR input for external control and a 12V trigger for convenient operation. The MOON P5.3 Preamplifier offers a level of sonic performance and flexibility that the competition can only hint at. Raising the bar even further, an optional internal phono board is available with adjustments for gain as well as capacitance and resistance loading.

 
Significant Design Features:
  • An oversized power supply using 2 toroidal transformers in conjunction with 3 stages of DC voltage regulation and extensive choke filtering.
  • An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring only 10 inches in length.
  • M-eVOL volume control circuit features 50 individual settings with no sonic degradation to the audio signal regardless of the chosen setting.
  • Power supply voltage regulation includes i²DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering); 1 inductor for each and every chip (i.e. OpAmp, DAC, Digital Filter, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path – 14 stages in all.
  • One single-ended audio input, of your choice, which functions as a “pass-through”, bypassing the gain stage to accommodate a component such as a home-theater processor, whose own volume control is used instead.
  • IR input for external control (all discrete codes) and 12 Volt Trigger output for remote operation.
  • Optional phono section for both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges.
  • Four-layer PCB tracings; The advantages include better ground and power supply circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics.
  • Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.
  • A symmetrical circuit design with accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components.

MSRP is $4,000.00 for the base version;   Add $500.00 for Phono section
