Gold Note Pianosa Turntable. It thinks its a Reference table yet its cost is entry level.
We are dropping the Gold Note line, not for any sonic reasons, but political ones.
Hence we have a brand new unit that was to be on demo in our reference room.
It just sat there waiting to be set up. Still have the cellophane wrap on it.
Gorgeous Italian Walnut. As new yet 30% off.
At True Audiophile
Gold Note is extremely well-known amongst the turntable purists. We've been eyeing the line for quite a while. Once in our hands Gold Note lived up to its reputation and beyond. Every product is built with an Italian eye and passion for detail. Everything Gold Note makes is just levels above most TT gear out there. Their perfectionism makes our lives easier. Their value will make your ears and body feel the true essence of the music. - TA
HIFI PLUS
It’s easy to fall into geographic stereo- types, and if you do an Italian turntable is going to be elegant, seductive, but ultimately insubstantial. The Gold Note Pianosa gets two out of three right, and fortunately it’s the right two. It is an elegant design with a similarly elegant sound, and it has seductive looks. Add to that the simplicity of set-up and this is a turntable that should get lots of attention. It’s easy to use, easy to live with, and easy to love. READ FULL REVIEW

OUTSTANDING MATERIALS
The Pianosa, just like the Mediterraneo and the Giglio, offers a unique combination of high-quality materials and refined technical solutions to achieve the purest audio execution.
The Pianosa follows the sonic philosophy experimented with the full range of GN turntables, taking advantage of the experience and knowledge we developed working on innovative shapes and quality materials.
The Catenary curved plinth, made of Italian walnut hardwood or black lacquered MDF, is handcrafted by the best Italian wood-making artisans who carefully treat every single piece of selected wood, shaping the core of the turntable.
The wooden plinth is coupled with a 20mm thick MDF plinth and reinforced with a 3mm stainless steel plate to provide incredible rigidity.
The result is an audio performance that exceeds any expectations.
OUTSTANDING SOUND
The electronics that control the power driving the 12V synchronous motor and the specific materials chosen for the Pianosa come directly from the flagship models. It results in a zero vibrations device and an improved torque delivering the greatest dynamic and the finest detail.
The Pianosa features our high-precision platter bearing/spindle design with the lowest coupling tolerance available.
The rectified spindle is made of hardened steel and it precisely matches the chromed ball bearing, reaching the perfect low noise rotational consistency.
