The small but oh-so-mighty PH-5 Phono Stage from Gold Note has had a thorough and honest evaluation from Stuart Smith over at HiFi Pig Magazine. His review sees the PH-5 put through it’s paces with a couple of different cartridges and without the PSU-5 Power Supply. You get a solid picture of what this fantastic unit can acheive, before pursuing the upgrade path.
The touchscreen, in particular, is a standout, offering a responsive, tactile experience that I found particularly satisfying and easy to use,
This, for us, is one of the most accomplished phono stages available at this price point and another example of the design flair of the team at Gold Note who have created a really stunning experience for such a small unit. It’s a favourite here at Airt and amongst our Gold Note partners for good reason.
You can read the review over on the HiFi Pig Magazine website.
