The Gold Note PA-1175 MKII is the kind of amplifier that makes you forget you're listening to gear and start paying attention to the music. With 200 watts of Class A/B power per channel — anchored by a proprietary Optical BIAS circuit that keeps distortion vanishingly low — it drives demanding speakers with a composure that's genuinely impressive. The adjustable Damping Factor is an unexpected gift: flip between 250 for tight, authoritative grip on large floor-standers, or 25 to bring a touch of loose, tube-like ease to high-sensitivity monitors. Everything is housed in a beautifully machined Italian chassis — curved aluminum slots, a massively specified toroidal transformer — that speaks to serious build philosophy without being showy. This is an amplifier you buy to stop thinking about amplifiers.

- Liner Notes
The PA-1175 MkII is the second generation of Gold Note High-End stereo Class-A/B Power Amplifier. Its new solid state design features a proprietary Optical BIAS system that enables a constant current generator to achieve high current and high power with ultra low distortion. The Optical BIAS design controls the voltage of the unit via optical decoupling, completely separating the control signal from the audio signal path to assure highest protection and unbeatable performance.
The BTL technology [Bridge-Tied-Load] allows the unit to be easily bridged to work as a mono amplifier. The 200W @ 8Ω per channel in stereo mode grows to a considerable 520W per channel in mono, allowing the PA-1175 MkII to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers on the market. To avoid RFI and EMI interference, the amplifier is built around a massive steel chassis and thick aluminium panels vented by the unmistakable Gold Note curved slots design.
The PA-1175 MkII features a proprietary adjustable Damping Factor technology selectable from the front panel. Setting the Damping Factor to 250 delivers the power and control needed to drive large, low-sensitivity speakers; setting it to 25 lets the amplifier behave like a low-power tube amplifier, ideal for high-sensitivity and mini monitor speakers.
