Compatibility for every cartridge and maximum versatility: the phono stage without limits

THE MOST ADVANCED PHONO PREAMPLIFIER

The PH-1000 is simply the best phono preamplifier Gold Note has ever developed, a unique audio solution that is innovative in every respect and 100% made in Italy.
Equipped with exclusive Class-A components such as a headphone output, countless EQ curves, including 4 manually adjustable custom presets, as well as 36 EQ curves and a Class-A line preamplifier (optional). Thanks to the countless EQ curves, for the first time you can play every recording practically the way it was created.
The PH-1000 is thus a true game-changer that ushers in a new era in vinyl playback.

PERFECT CARTRIDGE ADJUSTMENT

With 14 gain and 12 impedance levels, as well as 6 load capacitance options for MM cartridges, the PH-1000 is the ideal phono stage for high-performance analog systems, allowing even the most exotic cartridge systems to be matched with perfect synergy. This also makes it suitable as a professional tool for high-end studio recordings. Furthermore, you can change settings and make ultra-fine adjustments in real time, including the EQ curve, by simply using the SKC (knob) and the display while playing music. Our innovative technology allows for the best possible ease of use while maintaining sound quality in the analog domain: the user interface is digital and independent of the fully analog audio path. The result is an extremely low-noise phono stage with high gain and no audio filters.
All functions are indeed managed by discrete audio components and sealed single switches, with the signal path always being shortened to achieve superior audio quality and extract even the finest details from the record. Powered by our in-house firmware, the PH-1000 can be easily updated via computer if necessary.

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

The PH-1000 offers 3 independent phono inputs, two RCA and one XLR input. There are also 2 further inputs, one RCA and one XLR, which can be used either for the external load plugs for even finer impedance adjustment or as line inputs on the PH-1000 with preamplifier.
Add to this the other features such as the headphone output, the stereo/mono control with phase inversion, the L/R channel swap, and the subsonic filter, and you have the most advanced phono preamplifier on the market.

THE NEW PH-1000 LITE MODEL IS ALSO AVAILABLE

The PH-1000 LITE was developed for those seeking the highest quality, thanks to the 3 independent phono inputs (2 unbalanced RCA inputs, 1 balanced XLR input), the ability to select EQ curves, and play vinyl records in stereo and mono.

HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS

The quality level meets the highest standards throughout production: from the ultra-solid aluminum chassis, which has been precision-machined, to the electronic components and circuits, which undergo rigorous computer-controlled QC tests.

COUNTLESS EQ CURVES

RIAA, Capitol, Columbia/CBS, Deutsche Grammophon, Decca London USA, Decca London UK and Decca Mono 78rpm, Epic, HMW, Mercury, RCA Victor, Philips, Elektra, L’Oiseau-Lyre, Parlophone, and others. For additional dynamics and musicality, every curve can be "enhanced" using our in-house technology inspired by the Neumann record-cutting lathe.

ABSOLUTE CONTROL

The PH-1000 shows every detail as well as all functions on the color screen, which is powered by our own firmware. With the SKC (Single Knob Control technology) and the display, you have an intuitive system that allows you to easily control the phono stage and make quick fine adjustments without interrupting playback.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

With the PH-1000, your turntable, and your headphones, you can now enjoy the shortest audio path that is technically possible. That is all you need for the audio signal from the record to go directly into your headphones, without the need for additional amplifier stages.

MODULAR PRINCIPLE

For the most demanding audiophiles, the PH-1000 can be further improved with our external PSU-1250/1000 power supply or even the TUBE1012/1006 external tube output stage to reach the highest musical level in terms of realism, dynamics, detail, and spatial imaging.
