The MOON P-8 preamplifier is a dual-mono fully balanced differential design, representing the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. Using several newly developed proprietary technologies, this preamplifier yields absolutely no sonic colorations, a level of transparency second-to-none, and possesses a signal-to-noise ratio would have been considered unattainable until now. Further raising the bar, the MOON P-8 can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port. As well, a plethora of user selectable cosmetic options are available at the time of purchase.
The RS series of MOON audio components benefit from an even higher standard of manufacturing process than the regular MOON versions. All significant differences are contained within the circuitry and construction of each model. RS versions are built using different materials and parts in certain areas. For example, printed circuit boards are of a higher temperature grade than that of the military specification FR-4 material we normally use; Their traces are gold-plated instead of a tin/lead composite. As well, all capacitors use improved dielectric materials.
