MOON Andromeda CD Player Installation & Placement The MOON Andromeda Reference CD Player is very heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum and consistent operating temperature. Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper heat dissipation. As well, it should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated as this could compromise the

MOON Andromeda CD Player Loading A Compact Disc Conventional CD players utilize a clamping system to secure the disc with a large contact area and relatively strong downward pressure, coupling the disc firmly to the platter. Simaudio engineers discovered that minimizing disc vibration yielded a significant sonic improvement; Our tests determined that the main source of disc instability was the transport motor. The clamp design on the Andromeda is optimized through the use of both a stro

MOON Andromeda CD Player Balanced Operation When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio signal runs through both the center wire and the shield/ground wire. Any noise picked up by this interconnect (ie. nearby magnetic fields such as an AC power cord) will be reproduced by both the preamplifier and amplifier, then heard through the loudspeakers. Conversely, a balanced interconnect has three separate conductors; one for the ground and two for the actual signal. These two signal
