Save 40% on The Award Winning Simaudio Moon i-3 SE Integrated Amplifier!
Was $2800... Now Only $1699!
The Simaudio Moon i-3 SE Integrated Amplifier is a remarkable sounding amplifier. It has won awards the world over for its spectacular sound and unbelievable build-quality. The Simaudio i-3 SE puts out more than 100 watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 160 into 4 Ohms. It has 6 line-level inputs so you can connect all of your source components with ease. The new SE (Special Edition) version of this integrated amp has been heavily upgraded in several areas including the power supply section and a much more expensive toroidal transformer which results in better dynamics and a quieter background. Simaudio has so much faith in this design; the i-3 SE comes complete with a 10 year parts and labor warranty! The best in the business!

Features:
• Full 10 Year Parts and Labor Warranty
• A new custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics
• An extremely short capacitor-free signal path measuring 18.5 inches in length from input RCA's to output binding posts, eliminating virtually all potential sources of interference and producing a sonically faster transient response
• Gain section using a Crystal microprocessor functioning as a "shunt to ground" that doesn't degrade sonic performance regardless of the volume setting
• Amplifier section using a "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback
• "Class A" output power to five watts for greater efficiency
• An oversized power supply
• Precision-matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum
• One single-ended audio input which bypasses the gain stage to accommodate a component, such as home-theatre processor, whose own volume control is used instead
• A symmetrical circuit design
• Accurate matching of the high quality electronic components
• Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics
• Improved reliability through the elimination of moving parts
• Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
• Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
