Gold Note IS-1000 First Audition

Estelon YB MKII being driven by the italian integrated amplifier Gold Note IS-1000. First audition with the amplifier still 0Km

Sounds incredible!

[@louv4437]

That amp has those speakers humming!! But how it’s only 5k sounds much better than that?!

[@leandroronkoski]

I actually found the sound quite refined for this price range, unfortunately the microphone can't capture the real audio heard in the room, but this year it's really worth it for the price

[@louv4437]

@@leandroronkoski interesting really sounded good, if you want a top of the line integrated that punches above its price? look at the Pass Labs Int-250! It’s awesome

[@marcoserafino835]

finally this fantastic gold note amplifier has arrived !!! I wanted to ask you: on what occasion should the BOOSTER option be activated?

[@leandroronkoski]

excellent, it will show what it came to after about 250h of use. my Estelon speakers have 86db of sensitivity at 6ohms. I have never activated the booster option, I believe it is not necessary. enjoy this excellent integrated, it will bring you many good emotions

hi I also have a Gold Note IS1000 and I wanted some advice on how to adjust the DF damping fatcor option which is currently default to high. thank you

[@leandroronkoski]

good night, how are you? I always left the DF in the High position, because my speakers have 86db of sensitivity and are sealed. If you have much more sensitive speakers you can test the DF Low option, but I would only recommend this option if your speakers have more than 92db of sensitivity, you can make this change through the GN Control App on your cell phone or tablet. I believe that by the volume Knob you can also, but in the App it is easier and instantaneous. Hope this helps.

[@marcoserafino835]

@@leandroronkoski hello thanks for the advice, I have a pair of wharfedale linton with 90db Sensitivity and I think after several tests to put the damping factor on "LOW" it seems better.

Is this the deluxe version and are you using the DAC in the IS 1000?

[@leandroronkoski]

Yes , the Deluxe Version

hello I just bought the Gold Note IS1000 I'm waiting for you to arrive, how do you rate this machine ???

[@leandroronkoski]

It is an excellent all-in-one amplifier, very refined and pleasant to hear, organic sound

[@lemusachi]

Bom dia Leandro, tudo bem?? Me tira uma dúvida.... Qual a função desse aparelho HEES? O Goldnote é um um amp integrado fazendo também a função de Streamer??? Grande abraço!!!!

[@leandroronkoski]

Bom dia meu amigo, tudo bem ? O HEES é um super transformador isolador , ligado em 230v que fornece 4 tomadas em 115v e 4 tomadas em 230v. O equipamento pesa uns 80kg , super bem acabado e o grande diferencial dele é que não interfere negativamente no desempenho do sistema, como ocorre na maioria dos equipamentos desse segmento. É realmente impressionante como ele atua na energia, melhorando de fato a qualidade da energia que chega aos equipamentos. O Gold Note é um integrado All in One , conectado à rede , que é streamer , Dac e amp integrado

[@lemusachi]

@@leandroronkoski Ou seja.... Não adianta possuir os melhores aparelhos se a energia não chegar com qualidade!!! Sem mais..... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@leandroronkoski]

@@lemusachi exatamente, energia limpa e acústica são primordiais. A minha é dedicada, com cabo Power Clean desde o padrão , tomadas oyaide, tudo muito bem feito e com um bom aterramento e mesmo assim o HEES foi superior.

hello always with regard to the Gold Note IS1000 after a good break-in of about 2-300 hours in which characteristics does it improve?

[@leandroronkoski]

Good morning my friend, here at home, in my perception the sound became more organic after 200h of burning, in addition to giving the impression that he can better control the bass after this period. The internal dac also seems to improve, it gives the impression that everything fits together

[@marcoserafino835]

@@leandroronkoski excellent too I am starting to have this perception in my home even if I have not yet reached 200h of sound. in addition to the digital side, I still have to run in the analog side of the amplifier for many hours.

[@marcoserafino835]

@@leandroronkoski hello actually I'm starting to experience the same feelings as you and that is that the IS1000 is starting to sound different, more alive, real and the basses are more controlled and articulated.

[@marcoserafino835]

hello friend we have already had the opportunity to talk a few times as you can see from the comments how is everything ok? I always disturb you as regards the Gold Note IS1000 with which I am having a great time even after running in a really good amplifier, but having changed speakers (Atc scm11) I still have doubts in setting the DF damping factor on high or low. could you help me?

[@leandroronkoski]

Good morning my friend how are you ? I'm glad you're enjoying the Gold Note IS-1000, it's an excellent device, congratulations. I don't know your new speakers, could you give me the sensitivity and impedance? But I believe that regardless of that, the ultimate test is your hearing and the perception of how the Gold Note behaves in the high or low DF options. I don't have the IS-1000 here anymore to do these tests, but you can make this comparison in a very practical and quick way with your new speakers, listening in both configurations. Hope this helps, have a great weekend my friend
