GOLD NOTE VALORE 425 SE

Premounted MM VASARI RED cartridge for free

Belt-drive turntable designed and handcrafted in Italy, featuring a structure engineered to reduce vibrations and interference during vinyl record playback. Its design combines contemporary lines with a classic approach, incorporating a 30 mm thick plinth made from carefully selected materials to ensure structural rigidity and stability.

The 20 mm thick platter combines HDF and high-density POM, while the proprietary SplitSpindle™ system features a spindle and stainless-steel bearings. The rotational assembly is designed to reduce friction and aerodynamic turbulence, contributing to smooth operation and accurate record playback.

The drive system employs a 12 V synchronous motor controlled by a microprocessor, ensuring stable and quiet rotation. The hourglass-shaped pulley helps provide smooth power transmission while minimising mechanical noise. Electronic speed selection allows playback at 33⅓ and 45 RPM, with precise adjustment capabilities.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Valore 425 SE supports standard 9-inch tonearms and is supplied with a 9-inch Gold Note B-5 tonearm, together with a removable transparent acrylic dust cover.

Vasari Red

Vasari combines Italian styling with advanced engineering solutions, aiming to deliver one of the finest moving-magnet cartridges ever developed in Italy.

Its performance is based on a damping structure, carefully selected materials, an ultra-rigid reinforced aluminium cantilever and a specially developed diamond stylus designed to ensure excellent tracking performance.

The diamonds used in both Vasari models, elliptical on the Gold version and conical on the Red version, are designed to retrieve even the finest musical details thanks to their special profile and extremely small dimensions. Immediately recognisable by its distinctive design, the cartridge is engineered to deliver a full, precise and natural sound.

An entry point into the high-end world for vinyl enthusiasts.
