Gold Note PSU-10 EVO Power Supply Launched
Gold Note has launched the PSU-10 EVO, the new external power supply designed for the brand's DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS streaming DACs.
Gold Note's PSU-10 EVO (€1,100) joins the Italian manufacturer's Series 10 line of products and follows in the footsteps of the PH-10 phono stage's PSU-10 external power supply. However, the PSU-10 EVO promises to further enhance the performance of your DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS.
Available in Black, Silver and Gold and measuring just 200mm x 80mm x 260mm (WxHxD) to match the rest of the 10 Series, the PSU-10 EVO utilises large panels of finely machined aluminium as a shield to avoid RFI and EMI, says the Tuscany-based company.
Designed, made and assembled by hand in Italy, the PSU-10 EVO features a 4-transformer power supply stage enhanced with ultra-low-noise voltage regulators.
The power supply stage takes advantage of a four-transformer layout with one being used for the inductive filter and the other three being entirely dedicated to the power supply. The Dual Choke Hybrid design features an inductive filter on the analogue stage and is powered by a double inductor, driving both the negative and positive stages.
We're told that the PSU-10 EVO filters the current to eliminate interference and electrical noise from the AC power system and so provides "ultra-clean power." Gold Note says that we can expect even greater dynamics, higher resolution and refined details resulting in improved stunning realism and musicality from the DS-10.
The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO is available now for €1,100.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
