That's a very pale looking 'gold'. So that must be the new Phantom with 4500Watt.

Maybe the side panel is gold instead of chrome. I new he just went to get a freebie.

RE: Gold Phantom - EvPa - 22-Jun-2016
According to the Norwegian stor, here are the differences, compared to a Silver Phantom:
- 4,500W vs. 3,000w, 108dBSPL@1m vs. 105dBSPL@1m
- Distortion: 0.0005% (down from 0.001%), Background Noise : 0,5 dB SPL at 50cm (the same measurement used to be quoted at 3m)
- ADH Intelligence v2
- SAM v2
- seems to have a new DAC integrated into ADH Intelligence v2
- the side drivers seem to be white like the non-Silver Phantom but the metal side plates are apparently "22-carat pink-gold-plated"
The frequency response is also written differently, 14Hz-27kHz-6dB | 20Hz-20kHz±2dB (compared to 16Hz-25kHz±2dB@82dBSPL, 28Hz-25kHz±2dB@92dBSPL, 49Hz-25kHz±2dB@102dBSPL).

I'm still not sure a Gold Phantom was necessary. It only appears to be about 5% better than the Silver one. I still think they should have put analogue phono connections on the rear to use it with conventional preamps. I think that would have appealed to more folk who maybe aren't too fussed on streaming services like myself.
