Gold Note Tuscany MC Phono Cartridges. Rarely has a Flagship product actually performed like a Flagship.
Now at True Audiophile
Usually Flagship means getting the most money out of a model that really isn't all that much better. Rarely, if ever, Day and Night better than lower models. This is one of those rare occasions.
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"
Highly Recommended. "I'm using Gold Note Tuscany daily as my reference cartridge, so there were no extra efforts needed to get expressly familiar with it". Mono and Stereo Magazine
Editors Choice. Sounds Unheard of. "I’ve heard the particular part hundreds of times, but Gold’s refreshing balance recalled the intrinsic propensities of some of the cartridges costing almost double. My listening notes repeatedly highlighted particularly the balancing act, which is always hard to achieve even with the top tiers...dynamic transients emerged with subtile fertile anchor points. These are constitutional to the believable rendition of acoustical space and Tuscany Gold resolved with far more complexity one would attach to even not widely affordable price sticker.

THE BEST MC PHONO CARTRIDGES GOLD NOTE EVER MADE (their words, but we're inclined to believe it)
The Italian high-quality exotic design of the Tuscany Series is made to satisfy the most demanding ears for an uncompromising musical pleasure.
These phenomenal cartridges feature an extra-thin Micro Ridge diamond stylus-tip developed by Adamant-Namiki, the world’s most famous Diamond stylus manufacturer. With its exclusive cut, it guarantees a deep vinyl groove contact like no others. Its thin and long gold-plated pin connectors enable an ideal contact with the arm cinch to avoid energy dispersion and improve grounding for a surprisingly silent background that reveals at its very best every single musical detail.
Paired with the B-7 Precision Ceramic Bearing tonearm and Mediterraneo turntable, it represents the unique true High-End analogue set-up exclusively handmade in Italy.
The Tuscany cartridges are available in two models, Gold and Red which feature precious pure silver and copped coils.
