Gold Note PH-10 Phono Stage

Immerse yourself in the lush landscapes of audiophile nirvana with the Gold Note PH-10 Phono Stage, an exquisite piece of Italian craftsmanship designed to elevate your vinyl listening experience to celestial heights. Encased in a sleek chassis that whispers sophistication, the PH-10 isn't just another phono stage—it's a sonic revolution that transforms the analogue signal with an elegance that rivals the art of music itself. With its revolutionary EQ CURVE capabilities, the PH-10 allows you to traverse sonic realms with the RIAA, embrace the warmth of DECCA LONDON, or engage the vitality of the AMERICAN COLUMBIA curve, all at the mere touch of a button, displayed vividly on a color screen that sets the stage for a performance like no other.

The PH-10 thrills with its proprietary technology, an aural magic inspired by the venerable Neumann Cutting Lathe, designed to bestow upon your music a dynamic and musicality that's nothing short of an acoustic marvel. It’s a stage that gives the term ‘perfect cartridge matching’ new meaning, with a symphony of LOAD and GAIN configurations catering to the most intricate needs of both MM and MC cartridges. Rejoice in the ability to connect not one but two tonearms, each with its own dedicated settings retained in the PH-10’s memory even when powered down, creating a paragon of adjustment precision and user-friendliness. But the crescendo comes when the PH-10 is paired with the PSU-10 power supply, which supplies the phono stage with a conductor’s poise, offering unfettered access to an even greater dynamism and a three-dimensionality that takes your breath away. Prepare your senses for an unparalleled auditory journey, where technical specifications are not merely numbers but a gateway to an experience of musical truth that only the Gold Note PH-10 can deliver.

Sound quality is excellent for the price, having demo'd others in the price range. Running over wifi it is solid, no drop outs, same with Bluetooth. Streams Spotify, Qobuz, iHeartRadio sources with built in services, and Listnr by Bluetooth. Playback from NAS is good once it indexes the files, and no issues with FLAC, ALAC, AAC files at all. Gapless playback as well which is nice. Hopefully it will also support new Spotify Hi Res being released shortly. So far has already received 1 update and my 1 query to Marantz support here in Aus was responded to next business day, so good support which is important to me. Heos app is a bit clunky but functional. Haven't tried Room yet but was demo'd with Room so it's compatible. Dirac is option I haven't tried yet - requires license purchase - presently very happy with sound quality through my Kef stand mounts in my living room. No front display, all control by app, just volume and pause/play buttons on the unit itself. No IR remote, however can learn any remote if needed. Haven't tried HDMI but it is supported including CEC. It's only a small unit, looks tiny in the rack having replaced a larger amp, dac and laptop source. AC power direct into it so it doesn't need a lot of room. I like my music around 75+dB and when driving it doesn't get hot, just a little warm, plenty of power for my needs. The team at The Audio Tailor were excellent, laid back, no pressure, honest opinions and able to demo lots of devices. Highly recommend giving them a go.

He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?
