Simaudio MOON 610LP Phono Preamplifier

The MOON 610LP Phono Preamplifier uses a dual-mono, fully balanced differential design and a pure, clean power supply with strong lineage from the reference grade MOON 810LP model.

"Even the most delicate pieces of classical music, the noise floor is always in the recording, with tape hiss from the master coming through, not the electronics. Personally, this is one of the true benefits of a great solidstate phonostage — the absence of noise." – Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio

Design Features:

• Power supply voltage regulation includes i2 DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering) – 1 inductor for each and every IC in the audio circuit’s signal path – 24 stages in all.
• 64 impedance loading settings from 12.1 Ω to 47 kΩ.
• 16 capacitance loading settings from 0 pF to 1120 pF.
• 16 gain settings from 40 dB to 70 dB.
• Selectable RIAA and IEC equalization curves.
• Fully compatible with the 820S external power supply.
• Custom-made components include metallized polypropylene film capacitors with very tight tolerances (1%).
