Gold Note PH-1000 Lite MM and MC Phono Stage/Pre-Amplifier

 

The Gold Note PH-1000 Lite MM and MC Phono Stage/Pre-Amplifier is a top-of-the-line product that offers high-quality sound and advanced features to enhance your vinyl listening experience. Designed with 3 independent inputs, including both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR options, this phono stage allows you to easily connect multiple devices and play your vinyl in both Stereo and Mono versions.

One of the standout features of the PH-1000 Lite is its ability to customize EQ curves, allowing you to tailor the sound to your personal preferences. With inspiration from the Neumann Cutting Lathe, this phono stage offers a wide range of EQ curve options that can be further enhanced with the "enhanced" function for even better dynamics and musicality.

The precision-machined aluminium chassis and high-quality electronic components ensure that the PH-1000 Lite meets the highest standards of quality and undergoes strict quality control tests. Additionally, the single knob control and colour display make it easy and intuitive to make adjustments without interrupting your audio playback.

Another convenient feature of this phono stage is its headphone output, which allows you to directly connect your headphones for a more personal and immersive listening experience. And with options for fine adjustments in capacitance, load, and gain, you have complete control over every detail of your sound.

What Gold Note says

The PH-1000 LITE is designed for those looking for the highest quality thanks to 3 independent inputs (2 unbalanced RCA, 1 balanced XLR), the possibility to select EQ curves, and the ability to play your own vinyl in Stereo and Mono versions. The level of quality meets the highest standards throughout production: from the precision-machined aluminium chassis to the electronic components and circuits that undergo stringent computer-controlled QC tests. 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 technology, inspired by the Neumann Cutting Lathe, each curve can be customised using the “enhanced” function, for superior dynamics and musicality.


The PH-1000 puts you in control of every detail at all times thanks to its colour display powered by our proprietary firmware. With the SKC (Single Knob Control) knob and display, you have an easy and intuitive way to control the phono preamp and quickly make any adjustments without interrupting audio playback. The headphone output allows the audio signal to be carried directly from the vinyl to the headphones, taking the shortest possible route: the record, the turntable, the PH-1000 and the headphones.
