Every bit of hum or mains noise gets amplified along with it. That is exactly where the PSU-10 comes in: three transformers for the supply, a fourth for the dual-choke inductive filter, four separate stages each with its own regulator. Important: for everything to work together, the PH-10 needs the latest firmware – a quick step we are happy to take care of for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Note promises more dynamics and resolution. With vinyl this mainly means a blacker background between the notes and more space around individual instruments – and the lead-in groove becomes pleasantly unspectacular. The difference is clearest with low-output MC cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PSU-10 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone running a PH-10 who wants to upgrade it specifically. \u003cstrong\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PSU-10 is intended exclusively for the PH-10. For the DS-10, HP-10 or CD-10, the PSU-10 EVO is the right power supply – it looks almost the same from outside but is a different unit. Please don’t mix them up; it saves us both an exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSU-10 is the logical upgrade for the PH-10 – not a new phono stage, but the better version of the one you already have. Get in touch with HD Zürisee in Wädenswil if you have questions about firmware, placement or combinations; we’re happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: external inductive power supply (Super Inductive Dual Choke Hybrid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: Gold Note PH-10 phono stage (latest firmware required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for: DS-10, HP-10, CD-10 (use the PSU-10 EVO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformers: 4 (3 for the supply, 1 for the dual-choke inductive filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply architecture: 4 audio-grade rails, 4 ultra-low-noise voltage regulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output voltage variation: 0.05%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine noise rejection: \u0026gt; 80 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon mode noise rejection: \u0026gt; 80 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull power response time: \u0026lt; 2.5 µs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains voltage: 100–120 V \/ 220–240 V, auto sensing, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 25 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic power: \u0026gt; 50 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandby consumption: \u0026lt; 1 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuse: 0.5 A T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 200 × 80 × 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 kg net (5 kg boxed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Silver, anodised aluminium, brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the PSU-10 also fit the DS-10 or HP-10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. According to Gold Note, the PSU-10 is intended for the PH-10 phono stage. For the DS-10 streaming DAC including the EVO versions, the HP-10 headphone amplifier and the CD-10, there is the PSU-10 EVO. Conversely, the PSU-10 EVO is not compatible with the PH-10 – so the two are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes anything need to be changed on the PH-10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the PH-10 needs the latest firmware to work with the PSU-10. Gold Note provides the update together with instructions in the download area of its website. If you would rather not do it yourself, our technician will gladly take care of it for you – then everything is ready before the first record spins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gold Note PSU-10 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know the PH-10 and its upgrades from practice.
