Gold Note P-1000 MkII Deluxe – Preamplifier

The Gold Note P-1000 MKII is an ultra-high-end, fully balanced Class-A line preamplifier engineered to serve as the flawless analog command center for the world’s most sophisticated audio systems. In traditional high-end preamplifiers, the volume control is the weakest link; standard potentiometers inherently degrade the audio signal, compressing dynamics and skewing channel balance at lower listening levels.

The P-1000 MKII eradicates this physical bottleneck by utilizing an exclusive 256-step relay volume control driven by a high-precision optical ALPS encoder. This extreme engineering guarantees absolute channel matching and preserves the most delicate micro-dynamics, even at whisper-quiet volumes. Operating entirely in the pure Class-A domain with a proprietary Six-Gain-Stage architecture, it delivers astonishing transparency, explosive transients, and the profoundly three-dimensional, liquid warmth that defines the pinnacle of Italian High-End. Designed for absolute purists, it features a complete array of balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs.

True to the 1000-Series philosophy of infinite scalability, the P-1000 MKII can be radically elevated by adding the pure Class-A TUBE-1012 / TUBE-1006 valve output stages and the massive PSU-1250 / PSU-1000 external linear power supplies.
