PH-5 - Phono Preamplifier

GOLD NOTE PRE-PHONO QUALITY BECOMES ACCESSIBLE
The PH-5 is the latest addition to the Gold Note phono preamp range, designed to offer the quality and performance that made the PH-10 and PH-1000 famous, at an affordable price and with all the innovative features that distinguish our products. The PH-5 is suitable for any type of analog system thanks to the RCA input for connecting both MM and MC cartridges, the selectable EQ curves (RIAA, Decca London and American Columbia, all with Enhanced option), the gain and load adjustment, which guarantee maximum versatility and flexibility.

ANALOG HEART, DIGITAL INTERFACE
PH-5 is the first Gold Note product designed with a touchscreen interface: all settings are easily accessible and modifiable thanks to the innovative and extremely intuitive color touch display, which allows you to adjust any function in real time and without interrupting audio playback.

The phono preamp is based on a completely new design to integrate the entire electronics on a single board, unlike the PH-10 where the analog and digital stages are located on dedicated boards. The digital interface is combined with a completely analog heart: the audio signal path is in fact made with discrete audio components and optimized to reduce distance and minimize possible interference.

Each setting selected via touch is in fact applied to the audio signal by switching its path through the use of relays. An “analog purity” that gives extreme audio quality and allows you to extract even the smallest detail from the vinyl.

EACH RECORDING HAS ITS OWN EQUALIZATION CURVE
The PH-5 allows you to select, directly from the display, the most appropriate equalization curve for each vinyl: RIAA, DECCA LONDON or AMERICAN COLUMBIA. Thanks to our proprietary technology inspired by Georg Neumann (manufacturer of the famous Neumann phonograph), each curve is also available in an “enhanced” version to allow you to extend the frequency response up to 50kHz, increasing the dynamics and impact of the audio performance when required.

DEDICATED EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
To maximize the performance of the PH-5 we have made it compatible with the dedicated PSU, an external super inductive power supply that allows the phono preamp to express its full potential, restoring the sound of vinyl with extreme realism, three-dimensionality and precision.
