disconnect cables or adjust switches. It has never been easier to extract the
most detail from your vinyl!
THE MOST AWARDED PHONO STAGE
The Gold Note 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. Being the first
amplification stage of the audio chain, the phono stage assumes great
importance and this is why the Gold Note PH-10 offers the very best sound and
versatility using the latest technology.
To control the Gold Note PH-10 Gold Note developed the user
friendly Single Knob Control (SKG). Combined with the colour display this
rotary joggle allows quick adjustments of any function in real time during
music playback.
The Gold Note PH-10 lets you select the most appropriate EQ
curve for every record: the RIAA, the DECCA-LONDON or the AMERICAN-
CBS-COLUMBIA. All selection appears clearly as a graph on the large display.
Each curve is enhanced by a modern Gold Note proprietary design that derived
from the Neumann master cut machine project for superior dynamic and
high-frequency extension.
The perfect cartridge matching is guaranteed with up to 9
different LOAD options [10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1000Ω, 22KΩ, 47KΩ] and
4 different selectable GAIN levels [-3dB, 0dB, +3dB, +6dB] that will let you
adjust the preamplifier accurately to achieve the best sound experience with
any kind of MM and MC cartridges.
With the two separate RCA inputs the Gold Note PH-10 can be
connected to two different tonearms, each with independently adjustable
settings stored into memory, even when the unit is switched off. This
guarantees to the audiophile a unique flexibility and impressive
user-friendliness.
Optional Upgrade
To maximise the performance of the PH-10, Gold Note also
developed the Gold Note PSU-10 a dedicated external super inductive power
supply that allows the PH-10 to achieve its fullest potential, reaching an even
higher degree of musical realism, better dynamics and greater
three-dimensionality sound.
EXTERNAL INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY FOR PH-10 PHONO STAGE
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 Gold Note PSU 10 power supply it helps 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.
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 Gold Note PH-10 phono stage, the Gold Note 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).
Please Note - The Gold Finish has a delivery time scale of 3 Months.
