The Gold Note P-1000 Line is the kind of preamplifier that makes you re-examine what a line stage should actually do—which is nothing, beyond letting the signal pass with absolute fidelity. Built in Florence around a proprietary six-stage Ultra-Balanced circuit operating in pure Class A, relay switching and an ALPS optical encoder handle volume in 100 precise steps, adding nothing and subtracting nothing from your source. Ten analog inputs span fully balanced XLR and single-ended RCA; the Booster function dials in low-frequency authority for smaller speakers without muddying the midrange. The display is clear, the remote feels substantial, and the modularity—an optional tube output stage or external inductive power supply slots straight in—means the P-1000 Line is a foundation you can build on for years, not just an endpoint.

Liner Notes
Designed for High-End audio systems, P-1000 is an innovative Class-A line preamplifier powered by a new proprietary Six Gain Stage design with Relays & Optical ALPS Encoder volume control and the best audio-grade components to bring your system to a whole new level. The exclusive Gold Note Ultra-Balanced design featuring six single gain stages provides incredible low distortion and extended linear bandwidth for true superior musicality.
P-1000 belongs to a new era of electronics where performance is combined with technology to offer the best possible musical experience: tradition and innovation meet to create a unique pre-amplifier with crystal-clear sound. Featuring a Triple Linear Transformer power supply and 10 independent stereo inputs—5 fully balanced XLR and 5 RCA—the preamplifier offers an extensive range of functions including Mono/Stereo selection, Left/Right channel swap, Absolute Phase swap (0°/180°), Booster technology with 3 adjustable levels, and fine Balance tuning. A large colour display and included IR remote control provide quick and precise access to all settings.
To enhance the performance of the P-1000 even further, it can be optionally matched with the external super inductive power supply PSU-1250/PSU-1000 and the valve output stage TUBE-1012/TUBE-1006, allowing the preamplifier to evolve into a more advanced system over time. Advanced functions paired with high-quality materials and exquisite Italian product design turn P-1000 into a luxury solid-state amplifier capable of top-class performance.
