GOLD NOTE - Information on the correct management of waste from
household Equipment pursuant to the European Directive 2012/19/EU
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol shown on the equipment or its packaging indicates that
the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other waste to allow
its proper treatment and recycling. The user must therefore deliver, free of charge, the end-
of-life equipment to the centres for the separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment, or return it to the dealer in accordance with the procedures established by the
legislation.
The appropriate separate collection of discarded equipment allows for proper recycling,
treatment and environmentally compatible disposal, helping to avoid the possible dispersion
of hazardous substances and negative effects on the environment and health, favouring the
reuse and/or recycling of the materials of which the equipment is composed of. Illegal dumping
of the product by the user involves the application of administrative sanction provided for by
the legislation in force. We invite you consult the current legislation and the measures adopted
by the public service operating in your country or territory.

THE MOST ADVANCED
PHONO STAGE
The PH-1000 is simply the best Phono Stage
we have ever created, a unique piece of
audio engineering designed to be innovative
in every possible way and 100% made in
Italy. Featuring Class-A exclusive discrete
components, a Class-A headphone output,
+40 EQ curves preset, 4 custom EQ curves
manually adjustable, and the high-quality
Class-A line preamp which comes as an
optional.
For the first time ever, you will be able to
play virtually any record the way it’s meant
to be thanks to more than 40 EQ curves
available, or even customise the EQ curves
manually by adjusting three main parameters
- that’s why the PH-1000 is a complete
game-changer, opening a new era in vinyl
reproduction.
PERFECT CARTRIDGE MATCHING
With 7 Gain and 12 Load levels, as well
as 6 Capacitance options dedicated to
MM cartridges, it is the ideal phono stage
for high-performance analogue systems,
capable of driving even the most exotic of
cartridges with perfect synergy, making the
PH-1000 a professional instrument for high-
end studio recording.
On top of that, you can change settings
and make ultra-fine adjustments, including
the EQ curve, on the go by simply using
the SKC and the display as you are playing
music. Our innovative technology allows
the best ease of use while preserving
entirely the sound quality as it works in the
analogue domain: the interface is digital and
independent from the audio path, which is
completely analogue. The result is an ultra-
low noise phono stage with high gain and no
audio filters.
All the functionalities are in fact managed
through discrete audio-grade components
and sealed single switches, always
shortening the signal path to deliver superior
audio quality and extract even the finest
details from the vinyl record. Powered by our
custom firmware, the PH-1000 can be easily
updated via computer when necessary.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
The PH-1000 offers 3 independent inputs,
two RCA and one XLR. There are also 2
other inputs, one RCA and one XLR, that can
be used either for the external load plugs
for even finer control of the Load or as line
inputs on the PH-1000 with Preamp.
Add the other functionalities, such as the
Headphone Output, the Stereo/Mono
control with phase inversion, the L/R Channel
Swap and the Rumble Subsonic Filter and
here you have it, the most advanced phono
stage on the market.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS
The level of quality meets the highest
standard throughout the entire production:
from the aluminium ultra-solid chassis
machined with precision to the electronic
components and circuitry that undergo strict
QC computer-controlled tests.

40+ EQ CURVES
RIAA, Capitol, Columbia/CBS, Deutsche
Grammophon, Decca London USA, Decca
London UK and Decca Mono 78rpm,
Epic, HMW, Mercury, RCA Victor, Philips,
Elektra, L’Oliseau-Lyre, Parlophone, and
more. Each curve can be “enhanced” with
our proprietary technology inspired by the
Neumann Cutting Lathe for superior dynamic
and musicality.
TOTAL CONTROL
The PH-1000 shows every detail on the
colour display powered by our proprietary
firmware. With the SKC [Single Knob Control
technology] and the display, you have an
intuitive system to easily control the phono
stage and quickly make fine-adjustments
without even interrupting the playback.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT
You can now enjoy the shortest audio path
ever with the PH-1000, your turntable and
your headphones - that’s all you need for
the audio signal to go from the vinyl directly
into your headphones without the need of
additional stages.
MODULAR DESIGN
For the most demanding audiophiles, the
PH-1000 can also be further enhanced with
our external power supply PSU-1250/PSU-
1000, or even the external tube output stage
TUBE-1012/TUBE-1006, to reach the highest
level of musical realism in terms of dynamic,
details, and imaging.
