optionally drive the Micro Line sources achieving high-end audio performance
from any single unit.
The PSU-7 is a Dual Mono AC Power Supply Unit, featuring ultra-low noise
external power supply, which can be used in combination with all Micro single
components except with the amplifiers.
Goldeneye philosophy has always claimed the importance of the power supply,
which is fundamental in its design philosophy.

supply, the addition of the special external dedicated PSU-7 provides better
dynamic stability, timing, clarity and details, thus effectively further
improving the quality of any Goldeneye Micro component.
