With the Era Gold phono pre amp, bass plumbs the depths but is not overblown and detail is carried to communicate the true character of real bass. Mid range has the transparency and openness to deliver both the complexity or simplicity of a performance with unbelievable presence. Reproduction of highs have such reality that each harmonic identifies the true character (timbre) of the instrument and ambiance of venue, to capture the ethereality and ephemerality of the moment. The Era Gold pre amp incorporates a cutter head 'knee' and low input capacitance to compensate for groove and cartridge phase displacement, thereby restoring harmonic information. Phase error is virtually non-existent due to an extremely wide and stable 2.7Mhz bandwidth. Dual regulator power filtration is afforded through a PSU1 24 watt peak capacity power supply and the Era Gold built-in regulator system.

Intro Version

By utlising the 'in house' manufactured 'green' plug top power supply we are now able to offer this crowd pleasing amp in a new intermediate format. Not light on carats the Era Gold Intro is 100% the Era Gold but without the PSU1 power supply. The Upgrade to full Era Gold Status is available at any time, with the addition of the PSU1 power supply.

"Finally there's the issue of run-in and warm up as these units need to be left on continuously (7 watts power consumption - hi-fidelityuk) and used regularly! With those practical points in mind The Graham Slee Era Gold / Elevator EXP pair rates as one of the finest moving coil stages I've used and earns a hearty approval for record junkies who want to hear more of what's in the vinyl groove." Andrew Harrison, Hi Fi News

"This is evident by the Era Gold Vs mastery at reproducing the music with such scale that even the most complex music never catches it out. My reference record deck displayed such a grip of the music that it was almost frightening at times. I can give this RIAA a recommendation of the highest order with absolute confidence. In my opinion this is probably one of the best RIAAs in the world." Stewart Wennan, Hi-Fi World

"... the Era Gold is ordinary to look at (no Longer - hi-fidelityuk) - however, sonic performance comes first and that's one area where the GSP Audio doesn't need lessons It's moving magnet only, but with such cartridges its deliver a killer performance that no price comparable rival can match. That's why it comes our winner"
What Hi Fi? Sound and Vision

"But you wont buy this for its looks. Given its price and its miraculous - and this agnostic means miraculous - performance, I recommend the Graham Slee Era Gold Mk.V as enthusiastically, if not more so, as I've recommended any product I've reviewed and recommended in all the years I've been doing this."
Michael Framer, Stereophile?

"If you are in the market for a serious phono-stage for MM or high output MC then the GSP Audio Era Gold will be the one the others have to beat. It is so good that you might even start doubting the need for MC at all."
Jason Hector, Hi-Fi +

"...I've listed the runners and riders, added the caveat "in my system and room" and finally "to my ears", so here goes. The Era Gold + Elevator EXP is the best phono combination for MC's I've ever heard - period..."
Geoff Husband, TNT-Audio.
