About Gold Note
Italian maker of turntables, cartridges, phono stages and amplifiers, built near Florence in Tuscany.
Gold Note is an Italian company near Florence, with a factory in Montespertoli, Tuscany. It makes turntables, cartridges, phono stages, streaming DACs, amplifiers, headphone amplifiers, power supplies, CD players and loudspeakers. Its own B-5 tonearm is fitted to its turntables, so the arm and the deck come from one designer.

Turntables and cartridges from one maker
The turntables include the Mediterraneo, Giglio, Pianosa and Valore, and the cartridges include the Tuscany, Machiavelli, Donatello and Vasari. The B-5 tonearm design dates from 1992 and has changed little since. Both lists come from one maker, so a deck and a cartridge can be chosen together.
Electronics with a plain, clean layout
Gold Note builds integrated amplifiers such as the IS-10 and IS-1000, the DS-10 EVO streamer, power amplifiers and phono stages. Its stated approach is clean circuitry, solid power supplies and a minimal look, and its factory makes its own cases and circuit boards.
Phono stages for different cartridges
The PH-5.2 phono stage is an update of the PH-5, with a black anodised aluminium chassis, an upgraded power supply and a revised display layout. Phono stages sit alongside the turntables and cartridges, so a complete vinyl front end can come from one brand.
