Gold Note PA-10 Stereo Power Amplifier
The PA-10 is Gold Note's newest stereo power amplifier, part of the Italian manufacturer's entry-level 10 Series, designed to perfectly complement the DS-10 4in1 DAC and the multi-awarded PH-10 phono stage.
It's is a fully balanced amplifier featuring a BTL design (Bridge-Tied-Load) which allows the unit to be bridged and work as a mono power amplifier, doubling its power rate from the standard 75Watt per channel at 8 Ohms to a substantial 600Watt at 4 Ohms.
Just like Gold Note's flagship model PA-1175 MKII, the PA-10 features a unique adjustable Damping Factor technology that allows perfect matching with almost any kind of loudspeakers. It can drive large and difficult speakers, but also high-sensitivity and mini-monitor speakers by activating the low damping factor via a switch on the rear panel.
The proprietary GN LINK technology allows you to put the amplifier into a Master-Slave-Mode with other sources, like the DS-10. When connected via the GN Link cable, the unit will go in standby mode and will re-activate only when it receives a signal from the master unit.
Built around a solid steel chassis with massive panels of aluminum to avoid RFI and EMI, the PA-10 is equipped with top-level electronic components combined with RCA and XLR connectors, and gold plated speaker terminals. It also features Gold Note's iconic air vent design and is available in black, silver or gold finish.
The Gold Note PA-10 is available from December for the suggested retail price of €1,390.
