Gold Note B-5.1

B-5.1 AWARD The combination of efficiency and design The B-5.1 is an elegant high-performance tonearm completely designed and handmade in Italy with the greatest attention to details to achieve maximum precision and deliver a superior audio performance with all cartridges (up to 15g). Equipped with 4 high-precision micro ball bearings made in Germany by GRW – exclusively manufactured for Gold Note – singularly sealed and packed to preserve their integrity and enable noiseless tracking. The B-5.1 is a 9″ tonearm with an effective length of 242mm and a 19mm overhang, a perfect match that makes it easy to install on any high-end turntable. The quality of the chosen materials, such as the finely machined 6000 Aluminium, allows the B-5.1 to offer high rigidity and non-deformability to fully retrieve information from the vinyl groove. Featuring a finely machined stainless steel counterweight, it can be matched with the virtually any phono cartridges on the market. Optionally, additional weights are available to handle even those phono cartridges with a higher mass. The B-5.1 arm is the result of careful engineering, down to the smallest of details, resulting in a sound that is natural, elegant and refined, bringing to life your favorite music MAIN FEATURES TYPE 9″ Ball Bearing Tonearm BALL BEARINGS 4 micro ball-bearings custom-made by GRW OVERHANG 19mm OFFSET 24° ARM WAND Straight aluminium 6000 alloy DESIGN 12mm aluminium rectified tube 1mm thick INSERTING PLINTH SHAFT 23mm DYNAMIC EFFECTIVE MASS 10g VTF 0.186N (19g) VTA Adjustable on collar LIFT Hydraulic ANTI-SKATING Wire, 5 positions AZIMUTH Adjustable on the head-shell CABLES INTERNAL CABLES AWG36 Hyper Litz shielded 99,9999% OFC EXTERNAL CABLES SUPPLIED 1,5m custom 4 pole DIN/RCA DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT DIMENSIONS Effective length: 242 mm WEIGHT 195g (without counterweight) FINISHES SHELL AND PIVOT Black anodised Aluminium ARM WAND Black anodised Aluminium COUNTERWEIGHT Stainless Steel HYDRAULIC LIFT BOARD Black
