MOON Andromeda CD Player

Congratulations!

Thank you for selecting the MOON Andromeda Reference CD Player as a part of your hi-fi reproduction system. This CD Player has been designed to offer state-of-the-art high-end performance in an elegant package, while retaining all the sonic hallmarks on which Simaudio has made its reputation. We have spared no effort to ensure that it is the finest CD Player available. We have been building high-performance audio equipment for over 25 years, and the know-how gained through our cumulative experience is an important reason why MOON CD Players are so musically satisfying.

Your new CD Player is a true dual-mono design, whereby each channel operates completely independent of the other. The performance of your Andromeda will continue to improve during the first 400 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in” period required for the numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this CD Player.

Before setting up your new MOON Andromeda, we encourage you to please read this manual thoroughly to properly acquaint yourself with its features. We hope you enjoy listening to the MOON Andromeda Reference CD Player as much as the pride we have taken in creating this fine audio product. We understand the power and emotion of music and build our products with the goal of faithfully capturing these elusive qualities.
