Gold Note PH-5 MM/MC Phono Preamplifier

Gold Note PH-5 MM/MC Phono Preamplifier

THE HIGH-QUALITY OF GOLD NOTE’S PHONO STAGES HAS BECOME AFFORDABLE

The PH-5 is the latest in Gold Note’s range of phono stages, designed to deliver the same high quality and excellent performance that made the PH-10 and PH-1000 famous, with an affordable price and all the cutting-edge features found in Gold Note`s products. Whereas the PH-10 has two inputs the Ph-5 has a single RCA input, it can be set for either MM or MC cartridges and offers an EQ curves selection (RIAA, Decca London and American Columbia, with Enhanced option), as well as the load and gain adjustment to guarantee the utmost flexibility and versatility.

ANALOGUE HEART, DIGITAL INTERFACE

The PH-5 is the first Gold Note product designed with a touchscreen interface: all the settings are easily accessible and changeable thanks to the innovative and unparalleled user-friendly display that allows you to select and manage all the options in real time while playing your music. The PH-5 phono stage is based on a completely new design to integrate the whole electronics into a single board.

The digital interface is combined with a full analogue heart: indeed, the signal path is made through discrete audio-grade components and sealed single switches and it’s optimized to shorten the distance and minimize possible interference. Every setting selected through the touchscreen is applied to the audio signal switching its path through the usage of relay`s. The PH-5 features an “analogue purity” able to deliver superior audio quality and extract even the finest details from the vinyl record.

TO EACH RECORD ITS OWN EQ CURVE

The PH-5 allows a selection of the most appropriate equalization curve`s for each vinyl record, directly on the touch display: RIAA, DECCA LONDON, and AMERICAN COLUMBIA. Thanks to Gold Note`s proprietary technology inspired by Georg Neumann (the producer of the famous Neumann Disc Cutting Lathe ), each curve can be “Enhanced” to extend the frequency response up to 50kHz, improving even further the stage, dynamics, and resolution when required.

DEDICATED EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

To maximize the performance of the PH-5 Gold Note have also developed the dedicated, external super inductive power supply (to be released soon) 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.

Please Note: PH-5 is available in Black finish only.
