EXPIRED For Sale Gold Note PH-10 & PSU-10 Phono Preamplifier

Further Information

THE ULTIMATE PHONO STAGE

The PH-10 is an ultra-versatile phono preamplifier that offers unique features, including EQ CURVES, LOAD, and GAIN adjustments: a fully analogue design, engineered exclusively with the best components to recreate the musical event in the most natural way possible.

To control the PH-10 we developed the user-friendly Single Knob Control (SKC). Combined with the color display this rotary joggle allows quick adjustments of any function in real-time during music playback.

The PH-10 lets you select the most appropriate EQ curve for every record: the RIAA, the DECCA LONDON, or the AMERICAN COLUMBIA, and all selection appears clearly on the display.

Each curve can be “enhanced” with our proprietary technology inspired by the Neumann Cutting Lathe for superior dynamic and musicality.

9 different LOAD options [10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1000Ω, 22kΩ, 47kΩ] and 4 different selectable GAIN options [0dB, ± 3dB, +6dB] will let you adjust the preamplifier accurately to achieve the best sound experience with any kind of MM and MC cartridges.

With his two separate RCA inputs, the PH-10 can be connected to two different tonearms, each with independently adjustable settings stored into memory, even when the unit is switched off, guaranteeing flexibility and impressive user-friendliness.

To maximize the performance of the PH-10 we also developed the PSU-10, a dedicated external super inductive power supply that allows the phono stage to achieve its fullest potential, reaching an even higher degree of musical realism, better dynamics, and greater three-dimensionality sound.

THE PERFECT ADD-ON

The special external power supplies have been designed to enhance your Gold Note system and are part of the modular design of the Gold Note creations.

All the special external power supplies have been developed with a Super Inductive Dual Choke hybrid design. They feature an inductive filter on the analogue stage and a dual choke design powered by a double inductor driving both the negative and positive high-current stages.

The Gold Note proprietary Dual Choke design perfectly filters the signal voltages to eliminate any interference and electrical noise from the AC power system.

With their massive power supply they provide a shield from the AC power grid. By achieving complete insulation, an ideal working environment is created for the electronics to perform at their best.

ULTRA CLEAN POWER

The large and ultra-clean power generated enhances noise reduction, greater dynamic, better resolution and finer audio details guaranteeing the best realism and musicality.

Dedicated to the PH-10 phono stage, the PSU-10 features a 4 power supply stages with 4 ultra-low noise voltage regulators. The device is powered by 4 transformers (3 dedicated to the power supply and 1 for the inductive dual choke special filter).
