The Phono Stage of the next generation - the first phono stage with 2 inputs and 6 eq curves
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 high quality coils, capacitors and resistors.
PH-10 is controlled via knob and display using a sophisticated micro-controller to select the functions through our custom firmware that is loaded on a micro SD dedicated flash memory and can be updated easily via PC. The micro-controller is separated and independent from the audio signal path to guarantee always clear and pure sound.
Once the tonearms are connected, PH-10 can be set with 4 different GAIN levels [-3dB, 0dB, +3dB, 6dB] to match precisely the output level of any MM or MC cartridge.
The perfect setup is guaranteed with 9 different LOAD options [10Ω, 22Ω, 47Ω, 100Ω, 220Ω, 470Ω, 1000Ω, 22KΩ, 47KΩ] that will let you adjust the preamp to match it with a large number of cartridges in a quick, easy way.
HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY with Passion and technology
The secret behind PH-10? We design, craft and assemble every single part! Every PH-10 is handmade in Italy with the best audio grade components to ensure flawless music playback. The level of quality meets the highest standard throughout the entire production: from the CNC machining to the assembly and finally to the electronic tests at the PC.
6 eq curves to deliver outstanding performances
You will finally be able to switch from the internationally
recognized RIAA curve, to the DECCA-LONDON or the AMERICAN-CBS-COLUMBIA
curve, always graphically shown on the front display. And there’s more,
because you will also be able to “enhance” each curve with a modern Gold
Note proprietary design for superior dynamic and powerful results.
AUDIOPHILE in every possible way
PH-10 shows every detail on its 2,8” colour display powered by Gold Note proprietary SKC – Single Knob Control technology – an intuitive control system developed to easily browse and select all the unit’s functions. The unit can be externally powered by a dedicated inductive Dual-Mono PSU to enhance even more the performance.
Advanced Features
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
DISPLAY & KNOB: SKC is a unique technology that combined with a TFT display allows quick control of the functions through the single knob joggle
ELEGANT & FUNCTIONAL: Made of solid machined aluminium, the shell body guarantees low frequency resonance, feedback vibrational control and low magnetic inertial field
