The November 2006 issue of Stereophile will feature the cost-no-object, two-chassis $11,000 Moon P-8 preamplifier on its cover. To lower the noisefloor to the maximum extent, the audio circuitry is carried in one chassis; the control and display circuitry in the other. The P-7 preamplifier halves the price (to $5500) by packing everything into one chassis, but with only a slight reduction in the S/N ratio, Costa told me. Usual production features red LED displays, but shown here is a special version built just for the Hong Kong market, which features a significantly more expensive blue LED display.
