THE MOST AWARDED PHONO STAGE
Designed to achieve the best possible sound and total control over the listening experience, on PH-10 everything has found its rightful place: on the front panel the large TFT display shows all the settings information through an intuitive and easy to read graphic. PH-10 also features our Single Knob Control technology, an elegant solution to browse and change functions instantly that lets you enjoy the maximum of your audio system by finding the perfect match between PH-10 and your MM or MC cartridges through intuitive gestures, without the need to disconnect cables or adjust switches. It has never been easier to extract the most detail from your vinyls!
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.
2 SEPARATE INPUTS
With two separate RCA inputs you can connect two different tonearms and adjust settings independently for each single cartridge
4 GAIN OPTIONS
PH-10 offers 4 different selectable GAIN levels -3dB, 0dB, +3dB, +6dB to precisely match any kind of output level for MM and MC cartridges
9 LOAD OPTIONS
Perfect matching is easy and quick to achieve with 9 different load options 10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1000Ω, 22KΩ, 47KΩ
6 EQ CURVES
To achieve the best vinyl experience select the correct EQ curve: RIAA, DECCA-LONDON or AMERICAN-CBS-COLUMBIA

SUPER INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY
The PSU-10 is a super inductive power supply exclusively designed for the PH-10 phono stage.
Engineered with the best quality audio-grade components PSU-10 features a dual choke design powered by a double inductor driving the negative and positive high current stages and featuring and inductive filter on the analogue stage.
The Gold Note proprietary Dual Chokes Design perfectly filters the signal voltages in order to eliminate all the possible electrical noise coming from the AC power system.
The PSU-10 uses its massive power supply to shield the PH-10 phono stage from electro-magnetic interferences thus insulating it effectively from the AC power system.
The large, ultra-clean power enhances super low noise, greater dynamic, better resolution and finer details for a more realistic high-end audio performance and pure audio pleasure.
PSU-10 is able to help PH-10 extracting every single detail guaranteeing the best dynamic, resolution and realism music experience listening to vinyl.
The PSU-10 can deliver high quality power using four transformers three of which are dedicated exclusively to the pure power supply and with one separated transformer dedicated to the inductive filter.
