Product Details

Complete evolution of analog phono design

The Gold Note PH-5.2 represents Gold Note's mature vision of vinyl reproduction. Supports MM/MC cartridges with 3 EQ curves (RIAA, Decca London, American Columbia + Enhanced), 9 impedance loads, 40-60dB gain, and dual cartridge memory settings in compact 200×80×260mm chassis.

3 Enhanced EQ curves for authentic playback

RIAA, Decca London, American Columbia curves with proprietary Enhanced function (±0.3dB accuracy, extends to 50kHz). Real-time adjustment via color touchscreen without interrupting playback. 10Hz/36dB subsonic filter included.

Complete cartridge optimization

9 impedance options [10Ω-47kΩ], 4 gain levels [0dB, ±3dB, ±6dB], 220pF MM capacitance. Dual memory stores MM + MC cartridge settings independently. Perfect match for ES-78 MM through Tuscany Gold MC from our collection.

New black anodized chassis design

Sandblasted aluminum chassis minimizes magnetic interference. Enhanced power supply delivers superior dynamics, cleaner highs, and authoritative bass control. THD <0.05%, SNR 89dB, dynamic range 105dB.

Pure analog signal path

Discrete components with high-quality relays preserve signal integrity. RCA unbalanced (2.5Vrms) + XLR balanced outputs (50Ω impedance). Input sensitivity: 0.1mV MC to 10mV MM for universal cartridge compatibility.

Linea 5.2 design language

Compact 2.2kg design fits any audio rack. Elegant black anodized finish with intuitive touchscreen interface. Power consumption: 10W, standby <0.5W. Made in Italy with precision-machined aluminum construction.

Perfect Gold Note system integration

Designed for Gold Note T-5/Valore turntables, B-5.1 tonearms, and our complete cartridge lineup. Exclusive at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY.
