{"product_id":"gold-note-psx-5-2-netzteil-schwarz","title":"Gold Note PSX-5.2 Power Supply for Series 5, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Note PSX-5.2 is an external inductive power supply for the Series 5 that feeds a PH-5 or PH-5.2 phono stage and a Series 5 line source with clean power at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt succeeds the PSU-5 and adds a second output, a revised mechanical design and a stronger power stage. The chassis in black anodised aluminium matches exactly what already sits next to the PH-5.2 and friends in your rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the PSX-5.2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall units have small power supplies – the Series 5 is no exception. The PSX-5.2 moves the power supply into its own chassis and filters it with Gold Note’s “Super Inductive Dual Choke” technology: four audio-grade rails, two ultra-low-noise voltage regulators and choke filtering that catches mains interference before it reaches the sensitive electronics. The highlight is the dual output: a phono stage and a line source such as the CD-5.2, DS-5.2 or HP-5.2 can be connected at the same time. One power supply, two beneficiaries – maths even the accountant will like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Note promises less noise, a darker background and more micro-detail. In practice that means quiet passages sit more calmly in the room and decays don’t break off as early. With vinyl in particular, where the phono stage amplifies a tiny signal enormously, a clean supply makes an audible difference. It is not a new sonic character – rather your existing unit with less of a grey veil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PSX-5.2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who owns a PH-5 or PH-5.2 and is looking for the next sensible step before thinking about a more expensive phono stage – all the more if a CD-5.2, DS-5.2 or HP-5.2 is part of the system. \u003cstrong\u003eBottom line:\u003c\/strong\u003e The PSX-5.2 is not intended for Series 10 or 1000 units; they have their own power supplies. And if your cartridge and set-up still need work, you will gain more there first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSX-5.2 is the most sensible upgrade for the Series 5: compact, in the same chassis format and, with two outputs, far more versatile than the PSU-5.

Thanks to two outputs, you can keep a phono stage and a line source connected at the same time. For Series 10 and 1000 units, Gold Note offers its own, larger power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the PSX-5.2 and the PSU-5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSX-5.2 is the evolution of the PSU-5. It has two outputs instead of one, a revised mechanical design and a stronger power supply with four rails. The PSU-5 only powers the PH-5, while the PSX-5.2 also powers the PH-5.2 and Series 5 line sources.
