Valore 425+ Turntable

The Gold Note Valore 425 Plus turntable is the complete package with a very affordable price tag. Every detail of this turntable has been carefully constructed, using the finest design and assembly techniques Gold Note has to offer, and has proven on their top-line models like the Mediterreano and Pianosa lines.  The first thing one will notice with the Valore 425 Plus is simple and clean linear design. What this design is hiding is a high density reinforced 30mm MDF plinth which holds a finely tuned 12V synchronous motor and ball berg spindle assembly. The plinth provides a fantastic support structure for the entire unit with low resonance. The motor is supported by an external controller and power supply, preset to both 33.3 and 45 RPM settings, so once the platter belt is installed, there's no fussing around with belts to change speeds.  But the real joy comes from the Valore's beautiful in-house designed B-5 tonearm.  the 9" lightweight alum tonearm uses German micro-ball-bearing assemblies for ensure smooth, noise-free operation. The light mass of only 10g is remarkable and makes for quick and easy cartridge setup. The AWG tonearm wires are pre-installed with high quality RCA terminations and ground connections ready to mate with the Gold Note PH-10 phono preamp.  Of course, the Gold Note Donatello series of HOMC or LOMC options are the perfect match for this table and arm, but other carts match up equally well.   Starting at $2,399 and available in four colors: Walnut Veneer, Gloss Black Lacquer, Clear Acrylic, or Silver Leaf
