The company Akamai s.r.l. once again presents a power supply of the Gold Note brand, which is designed for use in combination with the phono preamplifiers of the Italians. In this specific case, it is the phono preamplifier Gold Note PH-5 Phono Stage, whose quality can be raised to a new level with the new Gold Note PSU-5, which is tailor-made for it.

Gold Note PSU-5 – Linear power supply for best possible power supply

At the heart of the new Gold Note PSU-5, he says, is a circuit design that uses a linear power supply with special transformers, said transformers being manufactured in Italy to HiFi Forge’s specifications to ensure a high-quality and consistent power supply. It also has an inductive filter that prevents noise and interference from the AC mains.

In addition, and this should not go unmentioned either, the mere fact that here the power supply is not housed in the same enclosure as the sensitive signal processing of a phono preamplifier ensures a significant increase in quality.
