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

Description

The extraordinary phono stage

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 color 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.
