The Gold Note P-1000 is the kind of preamplifier that reveals just how much your sources and amplifier have been capable of all along. Its proprietary Ultra-Balanced, six-stage Class-A circuit keeps the noise floor vanishingly low — transients arrive with snap, decays trail off with real air, and voices anchor solidly in the room rather than hovering somewhere between the speakers. The Booster adds texture and control in the low registers without clouding the midrange. With ten independent inputs, an intuitive color TFT display, and single-knob navigation that never requires hunting through sub-menus, the P-1000 disappears into a system effortlessly. This is Italian audio engineering at its most purposeful: authoritative yet transparent, richly musical without a trace of editorializing.

Liner Notes
Designed for High-End 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 provide 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 preamplifier with crystal clear sound. Featuring a Triple Linear Transformer power supply and 10 independent stereo inputs — 5 fully balanced XLR and 5 RCA (optionally even a digital input is available on demand) — the preamplifier offers a large amount of functions: Mono/Stereo selection, Left/Right channel swap, Absolute Phase swap, Booster technology and fine Balance tuning.
For P-1000 we developed the Booster technology: a feature that will allow you to get the best out of speakers that require robust power supplies providing greater energy in a very specific range of low frequencies (the Booster is completely by-passed when set to OFF). To enhance the performance of the P-1000 even further, it can be optionally matched with the external super inductive power supply PSU-1250/1000 and the valve output stage TUBE-1012/1006.
