BELLAGIO REFERENCE BLACK GLOSS

Gold Note's most ambitious reference belt-drive turntable — 32 kg, 90 mm POM platter, ceramic B-7 bearing and micro-processor speed control. Gold Note's flagship dual-motor reference turntable with a 32kg triple-plinth design in aluminium, stainless steel and hardwood. Achieves W&F 0.05% and rumble -83dB with its 80mm layered composite platter and Split-Spindle motor decoupling system. Supplied with PST-10 external power supply and B-7 Ceramic tonearm.

Technical background

GoldNote's Catenary Curve plinth architecture draws from Renaissance structural engineering — multiple curved boards bonded under tension create a zero-parallel-surface structure that eliminates internal standing waves. The proprietary Split-Spindle bearing decoupling isolates the platter spindle from the motor shaft, while the AC wave-rebuilding motor PSU regenerates a clean AC sinewave to eliminate electrical grid interference from the drive motor.

Design story

GoldNote's products are rooted in the Italian Renaissance tradition of integrating art and engineering. The Bellagio and Mediterraneo families take their names from northern Italian landscapes, and their curved Catenary Curve plinth architectures mirror the structural arcs found in Renaissance stonework. Every chassis is hand-finished at GoldNote's workshop near Florence, where craftsmen have been building precision audio instruments since 1992.
