Now at True Audiophile
We listened to a lot of cartridges as you may have read. Too many make claims their prices cannot support. Then, every once in a while a line of cartridges comes along that impresses and even astonishes. That's our reaction to the Gold Note line of phono cartridge. Soulful, detailed, great bandwidth. The Italians are really pushing boundaries... TA"

"The Machiavelli offers a perfect balance and always serves the music. It is dynamic enough to engage, resolving enough to reveal, yet ever so slightly forgiving, so that nearly all of your records sound great. A perfect host for your music collection. Gold Note's Machiavelli succeeds brilliantly at a price point where the competition is fierce." Tone Magazine READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE.

THE HIGH-CLASS MC PHONO CARTRIDGES
The Gold Note original MC cartridge recently re-designed version comes with coils featuring the highest standard low output level to guarantee top quality audio performance.
Housed in an elegantly shaped alloy body, the Machiavelli MkII cartridge offers perfect smoothness and extended dynamics making it the perfect host for your vinyl collection.
Machiavelli MkII’s extra rigid cantilever handles a high-precision Line Contact diamond stylus-tip in the Gold model and a micro-elliptical diamond stylus-tip in the Red model, both developed in collaboration with Ogura, the inventor of the Line-Contact diamond stylus shape.
At a price point where competition is fierce, the Machiavelli MkII cartridge distinguishes itself brilliantly thanks to its exceptional dynamic performances and engaging musicality that will make all of your LPs sound terrific.
