MOON W-8 Dual-Mono Power Amplifier
Congratulations!
Thank you for selecting the MOON W-8 Dual-Mono power amplifier as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This power
amplifier has been designed to offer state-of-the-art high-end performance in an elegant package, while retaining all the sonic
hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared no effort to ensure that it is among the finest two-
channel amplifiers available. We have been building high-performance audio equipment for over 25 years, and the know-how
gained through our cumulative experience is an important reason why MOON amplifiers are so musically satisfying.
Your new amplifier is a true Dual-mono design, whereby each channel operates completely independent of the other. The
chassis, power cord and power switch are the only parts of this amplifier that both channels share. The performance of your
W-8 will continue to improve during the first 300 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in” period required for the
numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this amplifier.
Before setting up your new MOON W-8, we encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly acquaint
yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy listening to the MOON W-8 Dual-Mono power amplifier as much as the pride
we have taken in creating this fine audio product. We understand the power and emotion of music and build our products
with the goal of faithfully capturing these elusive qualities.
