The extraordinary and award-winning phono stage.
The Gold Note PH-10 is a versatile phono preamp featuring EQ curve, load, and gain adjustment. It's a fully analogue design with top components to reproduce music naturally.
To control the PH-10, Gold Note developed the intuitive Single Knob Control (SKC) and colour display, allowing quick function adjustments without stopping playback. It offers the best equalisation curve for each record: RIAA, DECCA LONDON, or AMERICAN COLUMBIA. Their proprietary technology, inspired by the Neumann Cutting Lathe, enables further enhancement of each curve with the “enhanced” function.
Nine different loading options and four different gain options allow you to accurately adjust the preamplifier and get the best sound experience with any type of MM and MC cartridge.
Two RCA inputs allow you to connect two tonearms to the PH-10, with adjustable settings stored in memory, ensuring flexibility and ease of use.
To maximise the performance of the PH-10, you have the option to add a dedicated external linear power supply, the PSU-10, with an inductive dual-choke filter. It’s the best way to elevate the performance of your PH-10 to fully express its potential, restoring the sound of vinyl with extreme realism, three-dimensionality, and precision.

“Absolutely love the speakers. The speakers do show of the recording. If however the recording is not well mixed it will show the listener as well that it was a bad recording. When they did a bond song together. However if you have a well recorded album like London Grammar or Faithless etc the music is not just fun but dynamic and entertaining. Totally recommend these speakers. ”
“I’m loving the minimalist design. The warmth and depth of sound this turntable achieves makes listening sessions bliss”
"Just upgraded my phono cartridge to the Linn Ekstatik. This is a truely amazing cartridge. Running on my Linn LP12 Klimax turntable. The amount of information extracted is incredible. Very detailed presentation even at reasonably low volume. I am sure that as the moreI use it the better it will get. A worthwhile upgrade. Thanks to all at The Real Music company"
“The quality and reproduction of my Lps lifted 10 fold, the sound is so pure, like listening a new Lp, I'm hearing things i haven't heard before.
