Our Review

Introduction

The pursuit of audio perfection often leads enthusiasts to explore every nuance of their setup, and the power supply is a critical component that can significantly influence sound quality. The Gold Note PSU-10 Power Supply emerges as a specialized solution designed to elevate the performance of the already acclaimed Gold Note PH-10 phono stage, promising to unleash its full potential.

Design and Build Quality

Encased in solid machined aluminum, the PSU-10 boasts a robust and elegant design that's not just about aesthetics but also serves a practical purpose. The heavy-duty construction provides a fortress against electromagnetic interferences, ensuring that the delicate audio signals are preserved in their purest form. This thoughtful design is a testament to Gold Note's commitment to quality and detail.

Compatibility and Customization

Tailor-made for the PH-10 phono stage, the PSU-10 is a harmonious match, enhancing the phono stage's versatility. It accommodates a broad spectrum of cartridges, both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC), and offers an array of gain and load settings. With nine load options and four gain choices, it can be finely tuned to the cartridge specifications. Additionally, users can revel in the rich history of vinyl playback with selectable EQ curves like RIAA, Decca London, and American-Columbia, allowing for an authentic reproduction of any record.

Technical Specifications

The PSU-10's dual choke design and quartet of transformers are at the heart of its power regulation prowess. These components work in concert to create an inductive filter on the analog stage, which is instrumental in purifying the power supply. The proprietary dual choke design filters the signal voltages, resulting in a pristine power output that's free from the vicissitudes of the AC power system.

Performance Enhancements

Introducing the PSU-10 to the PH-10 phono stage leads to an audibly lower noise floor, which paves the way for enhanced clarity and detail. The sound imaging becomes more expansive, with better bass control and more responsive dynamics. Notably, the larger power supply capacity augments both macro and micro dynamics, thereby enhancing resolution, transparency, and the ability to reproduce detailed sound within a larger, more immersive 3-dimensional soundstage.

User Experience

Gold Note's attention to user experience shines through in the PSU-10. The blue light indicator and thoughtfully laid out back panel ensure a seamless integration. Its operation is whisper-quiet, maintaining an environment where music can flourish without the intrusion of background noise. However, users should be aware of potential setup hurdles, such as firmware updates for the PH-10, to unlock the full capabilities of the PSU-10.

Sound Quality

The PSU-10's influence on sound quality is profound, delivering a sonic experience that's both engaging and compelling across various musical genres and recording styles. Whether it's classical orchestration, jazz ensembles, or rock anthems, the PSU-10 adds weight to bass lines, clarity to midranges, and finesse to high frequencies. The resultant sound is richer and more textured, extracting more information from vinyl grooves and expanding the soundstage.

Reliability and Support

Despite its many strengths, the PSU-10 has had some reported sensitivity issues with its auto-sensing circuit, particularly in the US, where over-voltage can lead to a loud buzzing noise. Additionally, some customers have expressed frustration with the repair or replacement process, encountering delays that detract from the overall satisfaction.

Value Proposition

The PSU-10's price point may be a consideration for some, but its performance enhancements are undeniable. When compared with other power supply upgrades in the market, the PSU-10 stands out for its specific compatibility and the transformative impact it has on the PH-10 phono stage.

Final Thoughts

The Gold Note PSU-10 Power Supply is a formidable upgrade for the PH-10 phono stage, offering a significant improvement in sound quality that will satisfy audiophiles seeking to extract every last drop of performance from their vinyl playback system. While it's not without its setup quirks and sensitivity issues, the sound enhancement it provides is substantial. For those invested in the PH-10 and the vinyl experience, the PSU-10 is a worthy consideration that could elevate their listening experience to new heights.
