@transience - thank you for your excellent review on the GN IS-1000. It is an intriguing product, especially given my wonderful experience with their Mediteraneo TT with Donatello Gold cart with PH-10 phono stage. Put simply, they are wonderful products and I will give serious consideration to all GN products from now on. I'd imagine an all Gold Note system would be something to behold.
Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp
I am interested in the Gold Note IS - 1000 integrated amp but it is above my budget of $3,000. Is the Gold Note worth it's $5,000 price tag? It has a very fine DAC, phone pre-amp, and streamer. Are there any comparable integrated amps that may be less expensive? If it is a great buy I may have to stretch the budget. If there is a review available I would be interested in reading it.
Thank -You
