The PA-10 EVO is a stereo power amplifier from Gold Note, sharing chassis dimensions with the brand's DS-10 EVO DAC and HP-10 headphone amplifier, built with a wide bandwidth. The PA-10 EVO brings Gold Note's considered engineering to two-channel power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Input sensitivity is 2,500mV, with input impedance at 7,200 ohms balanced or 3,600 ohms single-ended. Output power is a consistent 140W across both 8 and 4 ohm loads. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.01% with full global feedback. At 200 x 80 x 260mm and 3kg, the PA-10 EVO shares chassis dimensions with Gold Note's DS-10 EVO and HP-10.
Sound and use context
Expect dependable power delivery reflecting the consistent 140W output across both loudspeaker impedances, packed into a compact chassis consistent with Gold Note's coherent electronics design language.
Pairing
The consistent 140W output across 8 and 4 ohm loads suits a wide range of loudspeaker impedances, and Gold Note's own DS-10 EVO DAC shares matching chassis dimensions for a visually coherent stack.
Alternatives
Gold Note's broader amplifier catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different output level.
