Gold Note PH-1000 LITE Phono Stage

The PH-1000 LITE is designed for those seeking the highest quality in vinyl playback. It features three independent inputs (two unbalanced RCA and one balanced XLR), allowing for flexible connectivity options. Additionally, users can select from a range of EQ curves and enjoy their vinyl in both stereo and mono versions, enhancing the versatility of this phono stage.

Quality is maintained at the highest standards throughout the production process. The precision-machined aluminium chassis and meticulously crafted electronic components undergo stringent computer-controlled quality control tests to ensure impeccable performance.

The PH-1000 LITE supports a wide array of EQ curves, including RIAA, Capitol, Columbia/CBS, Deutsche Grammophon, Decca London USA, Decca London UK and Decca Mono 78rpm, Epic, HMW, Mercury, RCA Victor, Philips, Elektra, L’Oliseau-Lyre, Parlophone, and many others. Thanks to Gold Note’s advanced technology, inspired by the Neumann Cutting Lathe, each curve can be customised using the "enhanced" function for superior dynamics and musicality.

Control is at your fingertips with the PH-1000 LITE’s colour display, powered by proprietary firmware. The Single Knob Control (SKC) knob and display provide an easy and intuitive way to manage the phono preamp, allowing users to make quick adjustments without interrupting audio playback.

For headphone enthusiasts, the PH-1000 LITE includes a direct headphone output. This feature allows the audio signal to travel directly from the vinyl to the headphones, ensuring the shortest possible route for the purest sound: from the record, through the turntable and PH-1000, straight to your headphones.

The modular design of the PH-1000 LITE offers discerning audiophiles the option to enhance their setup with the Gold Note PSU-1250 or PSU-1000 external power supplies, as well as the TUBE-1012 or TUBE-1006 valve stages. These additions allow the PH-1000 LITE to achieve the highest levels of musical realism, dynamics, detail, and imaging.
