The SIMA P-3001 was the third and final preamplifier produced under the SIMA brand name. Over two years
of research and development went into the design of this model which featured a no overall feedback design and a massive outboard
power supply (below right) in a chassis identical in size to the actual preamplifier. The phono section (below left) was designed to accomodate any
moving-coil or moving-magnet phono cartridge with adjustments to both resistance and capacitance settings made via miniature internal DIP switches, and used a
pure class A, no inverse feedback circuit. The P-3001 included 5 line-level inputs (6 without the phono board) and
also used a pure class A, no feedback topology, 2 tape monitor loops, 2 pairs of outputs (single-ended and fully balanced), and a headphone jack powered by an
internal class A amplifier. As well, a record selector switch is included which allowed for listening to one source while recording from another.
