The history of Gold Note is deep-rooted in the vibrant and sincere passion for music and LPs of its founder, Maurizio Aterini. A pragmatic dreamer who 25 years ago, when he was a young student of engineering, decided to design his own turntable.
That very turntable was the beginning of a long and exciting research path, focused on creating a complete audio chain that aimed at the perfect synergy between every component and between all the stages involved. Since then, here at Gold Note, we have always thought in terms of the whole system rather than the individual components.
Indeed, we experimented with new solutions to create and craft complete audio systems, analogue, digital and integrated, able to meet all the wishes of audiophiles and always deliver the true “Italian Sound”. Let’s get started our journey through Gold Note systems by showing you our top-tier analogue audio chain, a first, tasty “entrée” of a mini-series dedicated to our High-End system, where we are going to talk about our digital and integrated systems. So, stay tuned, we will catch you in the next episode!
MEDITERRANEO Turntable
Inspired by our Italian heritage, the Mediterraneo turntable combines beauty and technical perfection into a unique instrument for musical pleasure. Made of aged Italian walnut hardwood, the chassis benefits from the quality of such noble material: exceptional elasticity, strength, and high density.
UPGRADE PATH
PST-10 External inductive power supply
TUSCANY MC cartridges
The Italian high-quality design of Tuscany satisfies the most demanding ears for an uncompromising musical pleasure. These phenomenal cartridges feature an extra-thin Micro Ridge diamond stylus-tip that guarantees a deep vinyl groove contact and best-in-class performance.
PH-1000 Phono stage
The PH-1000 is simply the best Phono Stage we have ever created. For the first time ever, you will be able to play virtually any record the way it’s meant to be thanks to more than 40 EQ curves available or even customize the EQ curves manually. That’s why the PH-1000 is a complete game-changer, opening a new era in vinyl reproduction.
UPGRADE PATH
PSU-1250/1000 External inductive power supply
TUBE-1012 Valve output stage
P-1000 MKII Line preamplifier
Designed for High-End audio systems, the P-1000 MkII is our Class-A line preamplifier powered by the new proprietary Six Gain Stage Ultra-Balanced design, featuring relays and optical ALPS Encoder volume control. The best audio-grade components provide incredibly low distortion and extended linear bandwidth for true superior musicality.
UPGRADE PATH
PSU-1250/1000 External inductive power supply
TUBE-1012 Valve output stage
PA-1175 MKII Power amplifier
Class-A/B power amplifier with variable Damping Factor technology for a perfect match with all types of loudspeakers.
We suggest using two PA-1175 MKII in Mono mode for the best soundstage experience.
UPGRADE PATH
TUBE-1012 Valve output stage
A6 EVO II Floor-stand loudspeakers
The combination of its unique shape and the cabinet creates an ultra-rigid structure that enhances power control and provides a greater dynamic response, maintaining ultra-clean and powerful high frequencies.
