Excellent condition with original packaging and owners manual. The MOON W-5 was a balanced differential dual-mono power amplifier that produces 190 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 380 watts into 4 ohms and could be configured for mono operation. Employing our "Advanced Renaissance" technology featuring a "no overall feedback" circuit and bipolar output devices, the W-5 produced a warm, grain free sound common to some of the very best tube amplifiers, but had the reliability of solid state designs. Technical aspects: A "no overall feedback" design resulting in real-time amplification, a more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback An oversized power supply A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better dynamics Fully balanced circuitry up to the output stage Stable to any known speaker impedance "Class A" output to 5 watts for greater efficiency Precision matched and fully decoupled Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations Accurate matching of the highest quality electronic components to tolerances as low as 0.01% A very short signal path for a faster transient response A symmetrical circuit design Optional 12 Volt trigger for remote operations Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
