Introduction from Simaudio:

The MOON Aurora Multi-Channel amplifier incorporates many significant design features to achieve its "world class" level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:


  • An oversized power supply employing 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.

  • "Rack mount ready" faceplate with removable aluminum cheeks to cover the rack holes when not in use.

  • Fully balanced differential circuitry up to the output stage.

  • Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency.

  • Extremely fast circuitry yielding real-time amplification.

  • Virtually non-existent transient intermodulation (TIM) distortion.

  • Precision matched Bipolar output devices yielding superb linearity across the entire audio spectrum.

  • A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy.

  • Rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.

  • Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design.

  • A very short signal path for a faster transient response.

  • Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics.

  • A 12 Volt trigger for remote operations.

  • Low operating temperature.

Questions for the seller
Could you please answer a few questions for me? 1. Is the AMP in 100% working order or is there an issue I should be aware of? 2. Has the amp been in a room where someone smokes? Allergy problems. 3. Do the "ears" come off of the front and does the amp fit into a standard 19" rack system? Thanks in advance for your responses.
1. Yes, it is. There has been no issues with the amp. 2. No, it hasn't. 3. Yes, it does. I have never rack mounted it. Please see my ad for its features taken directly from Simaudio. "Rack mount ready faceplate with removable aluminum cheeks to cover the rack holes when not in use."
Hello, just a few questions. Is the stand included? Are you the original owner? How old is the amp?
Hi, Yes, I am the original owner. I bought it in 2008. Please see the legacy products section on the SimAudio website for more information. (Launched in 2002 {~$4500}, discontinued in 2010 {~$8000} as its demand was hurting the sales of its big brother "Titan".) My unit has very low hours on it as my home theater plans had changed. The stand sale wasn't on the plan, but I will include it at my asking price. Thank you.
