850P
Pre-Amplifier
State-of-the-Art Dual-Chassis Reference Balanced Preamplifier, the MOON 850P is the most advanced MOON preamplifier, this is the ‘Holy Grail’ of analogue audio design.
Extensive research and development during design, coupled with recent advancements in electronic parts and a move to further in-house manufacturing have allowed the MOON team the opportunity to keep the 850P at the top of the ladder in the pure analogue sector of the high-end hifi market. It may very well be the most transparent, quietest, most accurate and uncoloured preamplifier ever built, a strong claim but hearing is believing.
The MOON 850P must be heard to be believed. Our biggest challenge with this product is making sure that the listener always gets the chance to enjoy it with a system that can sit at the same standard. We would suggest you audition an 850P together with a MOON 780Dv2 or 810LP as the source and MOON 860 v2 or 888 as the power amplification. With these partnering products you will rejoice in musical enlightenment.

The audio circuits are isolated within a second box for better signal accuracy.
Design features
2-chassis design with 1 chassis housing the power supply, digital controller circuitry, software processing & the LED display. The other chassis contains ONLY audio circuitry
Power supply voltage regulation includes i 2 DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering); 1 inductor for each and every IC in the audio circuit’s signal path – 40 stages in all
Gain offset adjustment of ±10dB for each line input
Each line input is fully configurable to be “home theater ready”, whereby the 850P’s volume control is bypassed

Manufacturer
This is a rare component in the way it disappears, revealing nothing but the music carried through it. I’ve yet to hear one that reveals more music.
