GOLD NOTE PH-10 MM/MC PHONO STAGE
The GOLD NOTE PH10 is a compact, high-end phono stage made distinctive by its high-resolution touch screen, giving access to its extensive user configurable settings for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, making it one of the most flexible phono stages available.
Available in gold, silver, or black finishes.
PH-10 is an ultra-versatile phono preamplifier with unique features, including EQ curve, load and gain adjustment: a fully analogue design crafted with the best components to recreate the musical event in the most natural way possible. To control PH-10 Gold Note has developed the intuitive Single Knob Control (SKC) which, in combination with the colour display, allows to quickly adjust any function without interrupting the audio playback. The PH-10 allows selecting the most appropriate equalization curve for each record: RIAA, DECCA LONDON or AMERICAN COLUMBIA, through the menu present on the display. Thanks to our proprietary technology, inspired by the Neumann Cutting Lathe, each curve can be further enhanced with the “enhanced” function.
Nine different loading options [10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1000Ω, 22KΩ, 47KΩ] and four different gain options selectable [0dB, ± 3dB, +6dB] allow you to accurately adjust the preamplifier and get the best sound experience with any type of MM and MC cartridge. Through the two separate RCA inputs, it is possible to connect two different arms to PH-10, each with independently adjustable settings that can be saved in memory even when the unit is off, ensuring extreme flexibility and intuitiveness. To maximize the performance of PH-10 Gold Note has developed PSU-10, an external super inductive power supply that allows the phono stage to fully express its potential, restoring with extreme realism, three-dimensionality and precision the sound of vinyl.

We try and keep on top of our pricing, but it's a mammoth task for one person. So, if you see this product offered cheaper elsewhere, or you are offered it for less elsewhere (proof will be required) and you feel like supporting an extremely independent retailer, do get in touch and we will do our very best to match or beat wherever we can. We can't promise to do so, as there may some extenuating circumstances where we just wouldn't be able to, but we'll always do what we can.
Needs to be like for like - new for new, ex-demo for ex-demo, same colour and specs etc.
