SIMAUDIO MOON - LP3 in BLACK MM - MC COMPACT PHONO STAGE

SIMAUDIO MOON/LP3 in BLACK MM/MC COMPACT PHONO STAGE

The SimAudio Moon LP3 is a Phenomenal Bargain...

Get the Sonic Signature of the LP5.3 at a Fraction of the Price!

The newest phonostage from Simaudio is a killer price-to-performance analog marvel! Based on the circuit from the Simaudio LP5.3, the new Simaudio LP3 only has single-ended (RCA) inputs and outputs; this is the biggest difference between the two models. The LP3 is compact, but don’t let that fool you. With its military-grade components using very short signal paths, dual-layer circuit boards with ultra-tight tolerances, user-selectable loading and gain, outboard power supply and its extremely rigid all-aluminum chassis, the Simaudio LP3 is a “no-brainer” for anyone looking for an affordable phono preamplifier.

The Simaudio LP3 has 40dB of gain for MM phono cartridges and 60dB of gain for low-output MC cartridges. Even using its high-gain setting, the LP3 is dead quiet, allowing all the micro-detail from your recordings to come to the surface. Even the chassis is a miniature work of art: its all aluminum housing is superbly finishes and all connectors are gold-plated RCA’s. The compact outboard power supply keeps all the noise away from the delicate signal path.

The sound of the phonostage is remarkable for its quiet backgrounds and incredibly natural portrayal of space and tonality. The unit is meant to be left on all the time and runs very cool. In its price range, you’d be hard pressed to find a better value in a phono preamplifier! Our highest recommendation and 100% Music Direct Guaranteed!
