I've been enjoying my Gold Note IS-1000 for 2 months now. I think I was one of the very first owners in NA. It is absolutely worth the price! Fantastic soundstage depth, tight bass, enough power to drive any speakers, and a great phonostage. Great display and easy to navigate the controls (the owner's manual is a joke). This is the most natural sounding ss integrated amp in this price range.
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.
