gold note PH-5 phono stage
The PH-5 is a flexible and extremely easy to use phono stage that also offers a PSU upgrade.
The first thing you'll notice about the PH-5 is the screen on the front fascia. This is not only for informational purposes, it is also used to set up and control the PH-5. All setting shown on the display - EQ curve, gain, loading, and cartridge type - can all be easily changed by highlighting the relevant info with two touches. No more messing about with tiny dip switches located on the back panel or underneath the unit! The PH-5 can be powered on and off by an extended touch of the screen, but there is a power button on the back of the unit to fully power it down.
The PH-5 offers three preset EQ curves - RIAA, Decca London, and American Colombia - to suit the pressing being played.
The PH-5 offers a single pair of unbalanced RCA inputs with ground terminal, offering the same output as well as a pair of balanced XLR outputs.
A DIN socket is provided for a dedicated PSU upgrade.
The optional dual transformer PSU-5 linear power supply can be added as an upgrade option, designed to provide a more stable, higher quality supply to the PH-5 and filter out and reject any potential noise using its dual-choke inductive filter.
