The Gold Note PH-1000 is simply the best phono stage ever created by Gold Note: a unique piece of audio engineering, innovative in every aspect and completely made in Italy.
The GOLD NOTE PH-1000 features exclusive Class A components such as a headphone output, infinite EQ curves including 4 customisable presets, plus 36 EQ curves and a Class A line preamplifier (optional). For the first time, it will be possible to play any vinyl exactly as it should be heard, thanks to the infinite EQ curves available. That’s why the PH-1000 changes the rules of the game, opening the door to a new era of vinyl reproduction.
With 14 gain levels, 12 load levels and 7 capacity options for MM cartridges, it is the ideal phono preamplifier for a high-performance analogue system, capable of reproducing even the most exotic cartridges with perfect synergy, the PH-1000 is a perfect professional tool for high-end recording studios. It also allows users to change settings and make ultra-precise adjustments, e.g. on EQ curves, via the SKC knob and display, even during playback. Its innovative technology simplifies the user experience without affecting audio quality, as everything is done in the analogue domain: the PH-1000’s digital interface is completely independent of the audio path, which remains totally analogue. The result is an ultra-low noise, high-gain phono stage with no audio filters. All functions are handled through discrete audio components, minimising the audio signal path to give extreme audio quality and extract the smallest detail from every vinyl. Powered by our firmware, the PH-1000 can be easily updated from your computer when needed.
