Moon by SimAudio 310LP Phonostage & 320S Power Supply Unit - Silver

Moon 310LP Phono Stage

SimAudio Ltd. has been designing and manufacturing innovative, leading-edge audio and video products since 1980. MOON products have been globally recognized for their world-class performance, garnering numerous accolades for this outstanding achievement. Our products are engineered and built in Canada, utilizing advanced, efficient, “green” assembly techniques with strict quality control.
Furthermore, our manufacturing processes are part of our philosophy, whereas the high quality and long-life of MOON products are the best way to preserve our environment, avoiding premature obsolescence. MOON products meet or exceed all international requirements for safety, performance and durability. At SimAudio, great music matters. However, great music for a lifetime matters most.
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 resistance 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 20 Hz, acts like a subsonic filter by removing inaudible infrasonic bass below 20 Hz.
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.

Moon 320S Power Supply

The optional MOON 320S dedicated external power supply for the MOON 310LP Phono preamplifier brings this award winning phono stage to an extraordinary level of performance far beyond the competition and unmatched at this price. Reference level analogue LP playback just became even more affordable. The 320S, 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 by a mind-numbing 150 dB.
Some of the benefits that the MOON 320S brings to the 310LP’s already astonishing sonics are an even better signal-to-noise ratio that leaves you with the impression of increased gain; more realistic rhythm and pace; more natural life-like high-frequencies that allow you to better differentiate between various cymbals in a recording, and a deeper blacker background.
