SIMAUDIO MOON i-1 INTEGRATED AMP (BLACK FACEPLATE)
An Unbeatable Audiophile Value - The Simaudio Moon i-1 Integrated Amplifier
Wins the 2008 Absolute Sound "Product of the Year" Award!
The new audiophile integrated amplifier from Simaudio, the i-1, offers an astonishing level of sonic performance at an unbeatable price. This integrated amp puts out 50 watt/channel into 8 Ohms (100 watts into 4 Ohms), but sounds twice as powerful.
All Simaudio product specs are rated very conservatively. Inside the Moon i-1 amplifier is an oversized toroidal transformer and other audiophile-grade components like gold-plated, solid copper circuit board traces and bipolar output devices. The chassis itself is solid aluminum to protect from EMI/RFI and minimize the effects of vibration. Six single-ended, line-level inputs allow you connect plenty of source components, including an 1/8” jack on the front for your iPod.
The Moon i-1 has the ability to take control of any loudspeakers and drive them with ease. Simaudio has designed a phenomenal sounding amp in an elegant and affordable package. Available in Black or silver.
“Simaudio doesn’t take short cuts, period. As a result you not only get big-amp-scale dynamics but also a rhythmic liveliness, speed, and naturalism rare at this price… one of the most purely transparent integrated amps in its class!”
- Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, Product of Year Award Issue
“What I like so much about these designs can be stated simply: there’s an organic nature, a ‘whole grater than the sum of the parts’ quality, that makes this combination surprisingly wonderful to listen to. In short, with its latest and most affordable CD player and integrated amplifier, Simaudio offers a mighty fine taste of the good stuff, at a price most of us can appreciate!”
