Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON W5.3 Amplifier. A balanced stereo design, the W5.3 is capable
of driving most loudspeakers to their maximum capabilities. The heir apparent to the legendary MOON W-5 has arrived and encompasses all of the circuitry improvements found in the
Limited Edition series. Employing our world-reknowned "Advanced Renaissance" amplification circuit, the W5.3
produces a warm, grain free sound common to some of the very best tube amplifiers, but has the reliability of solid state designs. Producing 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms (300 wpc into 4
ohms and 500 wpc into 2 ohms) the MOON W5.3 has ulta-fast transients and incredible timbral accuracy. Of course, the tight authoritative bottom
end that MOON power amplifiers are famous for rounds out this luxurious package.
Significant Design Features:
An oversized power supply.
Advanced Rennaisance circuitry which is a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, a more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback.
Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The result is increased current speed and better dynamics.
12 Volt trigger for remote operations.
"Class A" output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.
Precision-matched Bipolar output devices yielding superb linearity across the full audio spectrum.
A high damping factor yielding superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy.
A very short capacitor-free signal path for a faster transient response.
Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics.
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.
Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design.
