A Look Inside The Gold Note IS-1000 ‘Super Integrated Amplifier’
Back in November we brought you the news that Italian manufacturer, Gold Note, were releasing their ‘all in one’ Super Integrated IS-1000. Now, take a look inside.
The Gold Note IS-1000 is an advanced fully integrated that merges a Preamplifier, a Power Amplifier, a Phono Preamp, a DAC and a Streamer in an aluminium chassis to form a ‘complete source’.
The refined technical innovations of IS-1000 come directly from the Gold Note flagship models, like the preamplifier P-1000 and the power amplifier PA-1175, which inspired them to create a new source that would integrate the analogue components of a high quality amplifier with the digital technologies of a Streamer and a DAC.
