SELECTION

INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

The PST-10 is a super inductive power supply designed for Gold Note turntables.
It has been engineered with the best quality audio-grade components to enhance the performance of your turntable, improving your analog setup to get exceptional results.
PST-10 features a dual choke design powered by a double inductor that drives the negative and positive high-current stages and features an inductive filter on the analog stage. The dual choke design perfectly filters the signal voltages in order to eliminate all electrical interferences coming from the power grid.
The power is based on 4 transformers, 3 of which are dedicated to the power supply circuits and with 1 for the inductive filter and the chokes. Its massive power supply shields the turntables from electro-magnetic interferences thus insulating them effectively from the AC power grid.
Adding the PST-10 will result in low noise, greater dynamic, better resolution, and finer details for a more realistic high-end audio performance and pure audio pleasure.
