Gold Note PSU-10 EVO External Power Supply

Gold Note PSU-10 EVO – external power supply for the Series 10

The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO is a high-quality external power supply for components of the Gold Note Series 10 and was specifically designed as an upgrade for devices such as the DS-10 EVO streaming DAC. The external power supply provides the connected component with a stabilized and filtered power supply, creating optimal conditions for quiet and precise operation of the digital and analog circuits.

Inside, the PSU-10 EVO operates with four transformers and a multi-stage voltage regulation system. The sophisticated dual-choke hybrid topology effectively reduces interference and noise from the mains power supply, ensuring a stable power supply for the connected electronics.

Especially with high-quality streaming DACs, a stable power supply can be crucial for the precise processing of digital signals and the subsequent analog output stage. The PSU-10 EVO is therefore designed to optimize the operating conditions of the connected component and minimize interference from the power supply.

The multi-stage voltage regulation complements the sophisticated transformer section and supports a low-noise power supply. This creates a particularly stable foundation for the sensitive digital and analog circuits. The concept does not aim to alter a specific sonic characteristic, but rather to provide the cleanest and most constant power supply possible.

In practice, the improved power supply can manifest as a smoother and more structured sound reproduction. Finer details are easier to discern, while complex passages can appear clearer. Spatial imaging can also gain in precision and stability. How pronounced these characteristics are depends on the connected component and the specific hi-fi system.

As a dedicated upgrade, the Gold Note PSU-10 EVO can be easily integrated into existing systems. No modifications to the internal electronics are required. Instead, the external power supply complements the existing component with a more sophisticated power supply, thus offering a simple way to selectively upgrade an existing system.

The PSU-10 EVO is particularly suitable for devices in the Gold Note Series 10 and, with its compact dimensions of 200 × 80 × 260 mm, fits the modular design of the series. The brushed aluminum housing is available in black, silver, and gold, thus blending harmoniously into various Gold Note systems.

Within the Gold Note portfolio, the PSU-10 EVO is a dedicated external power supply for the Series 10. While the PSU-10 is designed for the PH-10 phono preamplifier and the more powerful PSU-1250 powers the components of the 1000 Series, the PSU-10 EVO is specifically aimed at devices such as the DS-10 EVO and DS-10 EVO LINE.

The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO thus offers a sensible expansion option for sophisticated hi-fi systems. The combination of four transformers, dual-choke hybrid topology, and multi-stage voltage regulation creates a stable foundation for the connected digital and analog electronics and enables targeted optimization of existing systems.
