The PSU-5 moves it outside: two transformers made specially in Italy form the linear supply, another feeds the dual-choke filter that keeps mains interference away from the PH-5. Three rails, three ultra-low-noise regulators, 25 watts of power consumption – small box, serious engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the PSU-5, Gold Note follows the same idea as with its larger power supplies: less noise, more calm, more detail. With the PH-5 this means in practice that quiet surface noise recedes, voices appear more clearly outlined and the bass gains more definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PSU-5 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of a PH-5 who want to improve their phono stage specifically and without much effort. \u003cstrong\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have a PH-5.2 or also want to power a Series 5 line source alongside the phono stage, you’re better off with the PSX-5.2 – the successor with two outputs. The PSU-5 is the slim solution for exactly one unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSU-5 is Gold Note’s most affordable power supply upgrade and a well-rounded choice for the PH-5.

The manufacturer does not list any other compatible units for the PSU-5. For the PH-5.2 and Series 5 line sources such as the CD-5.2, DS-5.2 or HP-5.2, the PSX-5.2 power supply is intended, which can power two units at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePSU-5 or PSX-5.2 – which should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you only run a PH-5 and don’t plan to expand, the PSU-5 is enough. The PSX-5.2 is its evolution with two outputs, four rails and more power, and also powers the PH-5.2 and Series 5 line sources. If you are thinking about tomorrow, the PSX-5.2 is the better pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gold Note PSU-5 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you honestly what even small upgrades bring.
