Line 5: discover CD-5; PH-5 and PSU-5 Gold Note, November 8, 2025

Our commitment to audiophiles who seek exceptional sound quality leads us to create products that combine sonic excellence with the precision of craftsmanship.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge that we pursue every day with the Series 5.

CD-5: the pleasure of the physical medium, today

Putting a CD back into the player is not a sign of nostalgia. It is care. It is the desire to touch music, to live it at the right pace.

Our CD-5 player offers an exceptional quality-to-price ratio, ensuring the best sound in its price range (and beyond). It features a high-precision mechanism made by Stream Unlimited (Austria) and a high-resolution D/A converter by AKM (Japan), all enclosed within a refined black chassis.

It is the ideal choice for those who wish to listen to their collection of compact discs with superior quality. Built with a robust steel frame and a finely machined aluminium front panel, CD-5 delivers a unique listening experience: thanks to its high-precision slot-in mechanism and internal 24bit/192kHz DAC, every note is reproduced with depth, detail and naturalness.

The coaxial and optical digital outputs also make it an ideal source for external DACs, allowing seamless integration into any contemporary audio system.

The compact disc is not merely a medium: it is an archive of emotions, carefully preserved.

CD-5 is made for those who wish to rediscover this pleasure without compromising on quality.

PH-5 & PSU-5, two souls, one intention: to restore truth to vinyl

There is a precise moment that separates gesture from emotion. Just a second, the instant when the stylus touches the record. Each of these actions tells a story.

PH-5 was created to bring them out with clarity, balance and intensity. It is a compact, technologically advanced phono stage developed using the technology of the acclaimed PH-10.

It allows you to control every listening parameter through an intuitive touchscreen interface: gain, load, EQ curves.

Compatible with both MM and MC cartridges, its high-quality circuitry draws inspiration from Gold Note’s higher-end models, ensuring maximum transparency and musicality.

In combination, PSU-5 represents the natural evolution: a dedicated external power supply that reduces noise and impedance, improving dynamics and microdetail.

PSU-5 replaces the internal power supply of PH-5, using a linear power supply with dedicated transformers, custom-made in Italy.

The result? A smoother, deeper, more engaging sound; not only technical but emotional. It is what one might call the difference between “hearing” and “truly listening.”
