Name: Dan Thomason
Subject: Signature Upgrade on Simaudio Moon LP-5.3

Dear Dave,

I just wanted to write in to say what an outstanding job you've done on my LP 5.3 phono preamp. Now that it's got a few more hours of break-in time, what I'm hearing is reminiscent of some of the absolutely best-sounding analog front ends I've heard, not a Signature Scout with a good cartridge. (Dynavector XX2MKII). I must say, I'm not surprised, since my entire system is beyond belief, to me, for what it is.

I'll list the upgrades:

  • Marantz DV8300
  • Musical Fidelity A3/24 DAC
  • Genesis Digital Time Lens
  • Aragon 3002 power amp
  • and now, Simaudio Moon LP 5.3

All this drives a pair of Dynaudio Contour 5.4's, and I'll add that I'm using a passive pre, a Sonic Euphoria.

This system, in spite of its modest components, is a tremendous performer. I have no desire to change anything. Audio satisfaction, a seemingly rare commodity, is at hand, and here to stay.

Thanks David, for all you've done, and all the free advice!

Need the ultimate in High Performance? Upgrade to state of the art! Stock high-end audio gear leaves a lot to be desired and ultra high end models fail to come close sonically to the same model which has been upgraded.
