Simaudio Moon 310LP

Harris4crna,

Sorry for the delayed response. Been away from this site for a while.
I am very pleased with the Clearaudio Concept w/mc package and Moon 310lp. The 310lp does take a while to break in. Though it sounds very quiet from the first moment, it certainly loosens up and blooms quite a bit after a good 150 hours or so. I have my analog setup about 25' away from the main system and speakers and use the XLR connection to do so.

I am thinking about purchasing the 320 power supply. Any experience with it?

I've been using the Simaudio Moon 310LP preamp for several months and I love it. I upgraded from a Heed Quasar, which is a wonderful phono pre on its own, but the Simaudio is definitely a few rungs up the ladder--more detail, air, presence, life, you know, all the things that make recorded music sound more "real". The gain and loading options are generous and probably all you would need for most cartridges. I purchased it together with the power supply, and I couldn't image using it without one. I did an A/B comparison with and without the power supply, and without it the sound was comparatively anemic and lacked authority and body. So, basically, I think the power supply is essential. Highly recommended phono preamp!

Thank you, I will most likely pick up the power supply when I can. What is nice about going piece by piece it feels like you are getting a new system every time you upgrade.
