DESCRIPTION

The PSU-1 is a super inductive and chokes power supply designed exclusively for the PH-1 phono stage.
PSU-1 has been engineered with the best quality audio-grade components to enhance the performance of PH-1 and improve your system even further: with the dedicated external power supply, you will get the very best music experience out of your LPs. For PSU-1 we have chosen a dual choke design powered by a double inductor driving the negative and positive high current stages and featuring an inductive filter on the analog stage.
The Gold Note proprietary Chokes Design perfectly filters the signal voltages in order to eliminate all the possible electrical pollution coming from the AC power system.
The PSU-1 uses its massive power supply to effectively shield the PH-1 phono stage from electro-magnetic interferences thus insulating it effectively from the AC power system. The large, ultra-clean power enhances super low noise, greater dynamic, better resolution, and finer details for a more realistic high-end audio performance and pure audio pleasure.

QUICK START

INSTALLING THE PSU-10 IS SIMPLE AND TAKES ONLY A FEW QUICK STEPS

Turn OFF the MASTER SWITCH on the PH-1 and remove the AC power cord
Connect the PSU-1 to the AC power outlet using the supplied power cord
Connect the PSU-1 to the PH-1 using the supplied umbilical cable (from PSU OUT on PSU-1 to the PSU port on PH-1)
Turn on the PH-1 only from the PSU-1 MASTER SWITCH

IMPORTANT:
In order to use the PSU-1, you don’t need to use any software updates.

QUICK START

PSU-1 is designed to work in “slave mode” with PH-1 so you only need to turn on the MASTER SWITCH on the PSU-1 to control the PH-10 once the supplied umbilical cable has been used to connect both units.
PSU-1 can be left always ON except when not it’s not being used for long periods of time.
HOW TO POSITION PSU-10 E PH-10
To get the best benefit from PSU-1 & PH-1 it would be important to position the units at least some centimeters away from each other.
