The MOON 610LP Phono Preamplifier is a fully balanced, dual-mono phono stage engineered to deliver ultra-low noise and high-resolution vinyl playback. With 64 impedance settings, 16 capacitance options, and 16 gain levels (40–70dB), it precisely matches moving magnet or moving coil cartridges for optimal performance. Selectable RIAA/IEC equalization, balanced XLR connectivity, and 12V trigger control make it easy to integrate into high-end systems. Compatible with the optional MOON 820S external power supply, the 610LP is built to scale with the most revealing turntables and cartridges.
Get the Details
A purist circuit layout that improves channel separation and lowers noise, helping vinyl playback sound more spacious, stable, and transparent.
Extensive cartridge tuning (64 impedance, 16 capacitance, 16 gain settings)
Fine-grain adjustability makes it easy to hit the cartridge’s ideal electrical load and output level, extracting clearer detail, smoother treble, and more controlled bass.
Selectable RIAA and IEC equalization curves
Choose standard RIAA for most records, or use IEC when you want additional low-frequency control that can reduce subsonic energy and rumble-related issues.
Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs/outputs
Flexible connectivity supports both traditional and fully balanced systems, with XLR offering added noise rejection when your system is configured for balanced operation.
i2DCf power regulation with 24 stages plus premium component selection
Multiple stages of inductive DC filtering and tight-tolerance capacitors help keep the signal path clean and consistent, improving microdetail and dynamic contrast.
12V trigger I/O and optional MOON 820S external power supply support
Trigger ports simplify system-wide power control, while external PSU compatibility provides a clear upgrade path for systems pursuing maximum analog performance.

Expert Insight
So. Bass? Check. Treble? Yep. Imaging? You bet. The 610LP did it all right. But it’s how the Simaudio put it all together that makes this phono stage truly valuable. To me, analog is still total sorcery. It seems almost impossible that you could get this kind of sound quality from rubbing a stone on plastic, and the disconnect that results from a better analog component downstream still makes me shake my head in astonishment. But adding the 610LP to my system has markedly increased my enjoyment of the music stored on my LPs -- far more than I expected. And that makes me smile.

MOON 610LP Phono Preamplifier
Built for serious vinyl systems, the MOON 610LP Phono Preamplifier delivers a remarkably “black” background and wide-open dynamics thanks to its dual-mono, fully balanced differential circuit topology—closely derived from the reference-grade MOON 810LP. With extensive cartridge optimization (64 impedance options, 16 capacitance settings, and 16 gain levels), it can be precisely matched to virtually any moving magnet or moving coil cartridge for maximum musical realism. A heavily engineered internal power supply, ultra-short signal path, and premium tight-tolerance components help reveal low-level detail, preserve transients, and keep noise out of the signal. Add balanced XLR connectivity, selectable RIAA/IEC equalization, 12V trigger control, and optional compatibility with the MOON 820S external power supply, and the 610LP becomes a high-end phono stage designed to extract everything your records have to offer. The Moon 610LP is part of ListenUp's MOON Phono Preamplifier Collection.
Dimensions (W x H x D): 18.75 x 4.0 x 16.8 in / 47.6 x 10.2 x 42.7 cm
Shipping weight: 40 lb / 18 kg
Break-in period: Performance continues improving over the first 500 hours of listening
In the box: AC power cable; pen-shaped plastic hand tool for DIP-switch adjustments; owner’s manual; warranty & product registration information (USA and Canada only)
Finish availability: Dependent on location
MOON 610LP Q&A:
Does the MOON 610LP work with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges?
Yes. The 610LP is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges, and its adjustable gain plus loading options make proper matching straightforward.
How do I match the 610LP to my cartridge’s recommended loading and gain?
The 610LP provides 64 impedance settings, 16 capacitance settings, and 16 gain levels. Use your cartridge manufacturer’s specs as a starting point and fine-tune for the most natural tonal balance and dynamics.
What’s the benefit of using the balanced XLR connections?
Balanced operation can improve noise rejection and overall signal integrity—especially helpful in systems with longer cable runs or higher susceptibility to interference.
Can I connect both RCA and XLR inputs at the same time?
No. The design allows for only one input connection type at a time, so you should choose either RCA or XLR for the input.
What do the RIAA and IEC equalization options do?
RIAA is the standard playback curve for most records. IEC adds a low-frequency roll-off (noted as -7dB at 10Hz) that can help reduce very low-frequency rumble in some setups.
What is the MOON 820S, and do I need it?
The 820S is an optional external power supply designed to further elevate performance. The 610LP is fully capable on its own, but the 820S can be a meaningful upgrade in very revealing systems.
Does the 610LP support 12V trigger control?
Yes. It includes a 12V trigger input and output, making it easy to power on/off with compatible MOON components.
What power does it require, and how much energy does it use?
It supports 120V/60Hz or 240V/50Hz operation and consumes 6W at idle. It also specifies different slow-blow fuse ratings for 120V vs. 230V versions.
