Gold Note PA-1175 MKII Stereo Power Amplifier

The Gold Note PA-1175 MkII is a high-performance stereo power amplifier that combines authority, control, and musical refinement in a beautifully engineered Italian design. Built to complement Gold Note’s reference preamplifiers and sources, it delivers substantial power with a level of finesse that brings out the full character of your system.

At its core, the PA-1175 MkII is a dual-mono Class AB amplifier, designed to provide exceptional channel separation and low noise. It delivers 175W per channel into 8 ohms (350W into 4 ohms), offering the current delivery and control required to drive demanding loudspeakers with ease. The presentation is powerful yet composed—tight, controlled bass, an open and articulate midrange, and smooth, extended highs that remain fatigue-free even at higher listening levels.

The MkII evolution introduces a refined internal architecture with improved components and optimized signal paths, resulting in greater transparency, enhanced dynamics, and improved overall coherence. Gold Note’s focus on power supply design is evident here, with a robust linear supply that ensures stability under load and contributes to the amplifier’s effortless sense of scale.

A key strength of the PA-1175 MkII is its ability to balance resolution with musicality. It reveals fine detail and spatial information without sounding analytical, maintaining a natural flow that allows recordings to breathe. Whether paired with high-resolution digital sources or analogue front ends, it preserves tonal integrity and timing with precision.

Connectivity is straightforward and flexible, with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, allowing seamless integration into a wide range of systems. The amplifier can also be configured for bridge mode, significantly increasing output power for applications requiring even greater drive and headroom.

The chassis is constructed from thick aluminum panels, providing excellent mechanical rigidity and effective heat dissipation, while maintaining Gold Note’s clean, understated aesthetic.
