-Goldnote Ph10
I like the ability of this device to change settings on the fly. Have read good reviews but also possible noise issues?
Can't remember any noise issue with my Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10. If your cartridge is not 0.05mV like Ortofon MC2000 then you will never hear any noise using Gold Note PH-10 with 0.15mV and higher.
The Herron and Manley of course are tube based so that’s one of the biggest differences between these 2 and the SimAudio and Goldnote.
Expect to hear more noise from the tubes until you will find some exceptional tubes (NOS). And prepare for tube rolling.
