Simaudio MOON 310 LP

The MOON 310LP represents a significant step forward in phono preamplifier design. Like its predecessor, the highly acclaimed MOON LP5.3, particular attention has again been given to noise levels and dynamic range. The result is one of the quietest phono preamplifiers ever, on par and even superior to many models at significantly higher price points. Sonically, it portrays all the Simaudio hallmarks: clean, powerful, fast and extended bass combined with an open midrange and airy extended high frequencies.

A major strength of the MOON 310LP is its highly configurable nature. There are numerous end-user adjustments for resisitance loading, capacitance loading and gain level. Going one step further, you can even chose from two different equalization curves - either the RIAA curve with a flat frequency response or the IEC curve which, although identical to the RIAA curve beyond 20Hz, acts like a subsonic filter by removing inaudible infrasonic bass below 20Hz.

Balanced outputs are a standard feature, allowing you to take full advantage of connectivity to a balanced preamplifier or integrated for a significant improvement in noise floor, dynamics and midrange transparency. Finally, the 310LP is housed in a custom-made, rigid chassis with a 3/8” brushed and anodized front panel.

Características:

• Large isolated power supply on a separate circuit with 2 stages of voltage regulation
• Adjustable impedance loading (10, 100, 470, 1K and 47kΩ)
• Adjustable capacitance loading (0, 100 and 470pF)
• Adjustable gain settings for moving magnet cartridges (40dB) and moving coil cartridges (54, 60 and 66dB)
• Selectable equalization curves for both the RIAA and the IEC standards
• Optional MOON 320S external power supply upgrade
• Single-ended RCA and Balanced XLR outputs
• Four-layer PCB tracings with dedicated ground and power planes using pure copper for low impedance characteristics. The advantages include better circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter signal path and a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio
• Power supply voltage regulation includes i2DCf (Independant Inductive DC Filtering); There is one inductor dedicated to each integrated circuit type component (DAC, Op-Amp, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path - 2 stages in all
• Extremely short signal path for a faster transient response
• Accurate matching of the finest high quality electronic components
• Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.

Fuente de alimentación opcional 320S

The new 320S is the power supply upgrade for Simaudio's amazing 310LP phono stage. The 320S is a huge, ultra-stable supply with an unprecedented level of filtering and regulation, providing enormous improvements; improved bass definition, lower noise floor and wider dynamic range. Simaudio includes a 1 meter professional umbilical with the 320S to connect the two pieces together. Also available in Black

The MOON 320S dedicated external power supply for the 310LP Phono preamplifier brings this amazing phono stage to much higher level of performance far beyond the competition and unmatched at this price. Reference level analog LP playback is now even more affordable! The 320S is housed in a chassis identical to the 310LP, features a special "pi-type" filter and a dual voltage regulation system that reduces the 310LP's already very low noise level on the DC signal to a mind-numbing -150dB!

Some of the benefits that the 320S brings to the 310LP's already astonishing sonic performance are an even better signal-to-noise ratio that leaves you with the impression of increased gain; more realistic pace, rhythm and timing; more natural life-like high-frequencies that allow you to better differentiate between various cymbals in a recording; and a deeper blacker background. Highly recommended for any 310LP owner!

NOTE: Prior to connecting your 310LP Phono Preamplifier to the 320S Power Supply, you must move two internal jumpers inside the 310LP. There are detailed instructions on how to do this in the owner's manual for the 320S.

Failure to make these adjustments may cause damage that is not covered by warranty.
