Gold Note PH-10 MM/MC Phono Stage (Black)

Description

PH-10

MM & MC Phono Stage with 2 RCA inputs, RCA and XLR
outputs, 6 EQ curves, and adjustable load/gain.

Dimensions: 200mm W x 80mm H x 260mm D

THE MOST AWARDED 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. Being the first amplification
stage of the audio chain, the phono stage assumes great importance and this is
why the PH-10 offers the very best sound and versatility using the latest
technology.

To control the PH-10 we developed the user friendly Single
Knob Control (SKG). 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- 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 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. This guarantees to the
audiophile a unique 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
PH-10 to achieve its fullest potential, reaching an even higher degree of
musical realism, better dynamics and greater three-dimensionality sound.

Advanced Features
