The Graham Slee Era Gold V (often listed as Era Gold Mk V / Mk.V) is a solid-state moving-magnet phono stage designed for high-quality turntables, tonearms, moving magnet, moving iron, and high-output moving-coil cartridges that require a fixed 47 kOhm load. It is a legacy product that has been superseded by the Reflex M, but it is still described by retailers as continuing to be manufactured and supported. The unit is known for wide bandwidth, high gain, and very low distortion, and is commonly sold with the PSU1 outboard power supply.
