I own a the LP5.3 and I regard it as an essentially transparent device. More often than not, a flaw in the sound can be traced back to the support/turntable/arm/cartridge which precede it.
I'm glad I bought it.

Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP?
This isn't really a question I'm asking - more a point of interest.
I just purchased the 5.3RS and in the manual there's some blurb about the RS designation means a higher grade of PCB and capacitors are used.
To my surprise, on reading the review of the 310LP the exact same phrase was used - suggesting that was why the new model was introduced.
Pics of the internals also look identical
Now I'm not saying they are the same electronics, but is seems it might be possible?
Now the kicker - the MSRP for the 310LP is around $1800
The 5.3RS ? - I got it for $1350 !
Just in case fellow members are looking in that direction :-)
It sounds real nice as well, especially with a quality power cord - probably don't need the seperate power supply that they promote.
Back to the tunes :-)
