The PH-5 is the latest born at Gold Note’s range of phono stages, designed to deliver the same high quality and excellent performance that made the PH-10 and PH-1000 famous, with an affordable price and all the cutting-edge features that stands out their products.
With a single RCA input, it can be connected to either MM or MC cartridges and offers an EQ curves selection (RIAA, Decca London and American Columbia, with Enhanced option), as well as load and gain adjustments.
The PH-5 is the first Gold Note product designed with a touchscreen interface: all the settings are easily accessible and changeable in real time. The phono stage is based on a completely new design to integrate the whole electronics into a single board. The signal path is made through discrete audio-grade components and sealed single switches and it’s optimized to shorten the distance and minimize possible interference. Every setting selected through the touchscreen is applied to the audio signal switching its path through the usage of relays.
The PH-5 allows a selection of the most appropriate equalization curve for each vinyl record, directly on the touch display: RIAA, Decca London, and American COLUMBIA. Thanks to their proprietary technology, inspired by Georg Neumann (the producer of the famous Neumann disc cutting lathe), each curve can be “Enhanced” to extend the frequency response up to 50kHz, improving even further the stage, dynamics, and resolution when required, the company says.
To maximize the performance of the PH-5 Gold Note offers a dedicated, external super inductive power supply that allows the phono stage to achieve its fullest potential.
