GOLD NOTE PIANOSA

The Pianosa turntable by Gold Note embodies the essence of a project that combines innovation, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail, delivering a listening experience that exceeds all expectations. Its design is inspired by the catenary curve, visible in the lower plinth, handcrafted by the finest Italian artisans and available in exquisite solid walnut wood or black lacquered MDF. Each piece is carefully selected and crafted with great care, shaping the beating heart of the turntable, while the upper plinth, 20 mm thick, is reinforced with a 3 mm stainless steel plate that ensures rigidity and stability—fundamental elements for excellent vibration control.

The 12V synchronous motor, controlled by a proprietary power supply developed with state-of-the-art microprocessors, guarantees precise and stable rotation, drastically reducing vibrations and unwanted noise. The hourglass-shaped pulley further helps minimize noise and maintain optimal control over wow & flutter, while the low-tolerance spindle-bearing system pairs a hardened chrome steel spindle with a ball bearing made of the same material, ensuring exceptional rotational smoothness and very low noise levels.

The dual isolated plinth structure, featuring a 20 mm vinyl platter, a 20 mm thick acrylic plate, a 3 mm titanium plinth, and a 50 mm machine-curved solid Italian walnut base (or black or white lacquered MDF), creates a highly rigid foundation that allows impeccable frequency and vibration control. This combination of artisanal tradition and cutting-edge technology enables the Pianosa to reproduce every musical detail with remarkable naturalness and dynamics, conveying all the emotion of vinyl.

Born from the experience gained with Gold Note’s premium models, the Pianosa interprets music with a purity and finesse rarely achieved in its price range, confirming Gold Note’s commitment to crafting instruments that awaken new sonic sensations and complete a total sensory experience. The result is an elegant and compact turntable that blends refined aesthetics with high-level technical performance, designed for vinyl lovers who want to experience music authentically.
