With over 20 years of experience and research, the Gold Note IS-1000 deluxe is the perfect all-in-one solution for the most demanding audiophile.

With its advanced components and technologies, this 125 watt 8ohm @1kHz per channel Class AB integrated amplifier delivers pure sound, vivid dynamics and the finest detail.

The Gold Note IS-1000 MKII features an MM/MC phono preamplifier, a high-end DAC and a high-resolution streamer all in one. It also offers a wide range of digital and analogue inputs that give you total control and the freedom to connect other devices to the IS-1000 MKII. You won't need anything else to experience the true pleasure of high-definition audio in your home.

EASY ACCESS TO YOUR MUSIC

The Gold Note IS-1000 MKII is a plug&play device compatible with online music services. You can stream your music via Roon, Airplay, Tidal, Tidal Connect, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, vTuner and Deezer, controlling the IS-1000 MKII using the easy-to-use GN Control app on your smartphone or tablet (available free for iOS and Android). Browse your digital music collection stored locally on a NAS or USB stick and enjoy your favourite tunes. If you love vinyl records, connect your turntable directly to the IS-1000 MKII to use the built-in phono preamp.

The Gold Note IS-1000 MKII is able to bring your speakers to life with extra power.

Female vocals are beautifully presented with great detail and no harshness in the high frequencies. Instruments are well placed and stable in the different ranges. Listening to reggae and other bass-heavy music sounds very good and not overdone. The IS-1000 MKII is also capable of reproducing classical music in a beautiful way and of handling the dynamic changes without losing any of them.

This Gold Note amp is formidably well built and looks great. It offers those looking for an all-in-one solution with just a pair of speakers an excellent product at a very competitive price. All in all, the Gold Note IS-1000 MKII is an ideal choice for all music lovers.

Connectivity is excellent and the IS-1000 MKII can be the centre of a hi-fi system to play music saved on a hard drive or from streaming services, but also to connect to your TV.

It's a fantastic product that definitely belongs in the high-end audio category as far as online music playback is concerned, but it's also for those who love vinyl and want quality sound without committing to multiple boxes.

The inclusion of a phono card is the icing on the cake, although not everyone will need one immediately.
