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.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.
