Italian Precision in a Compact Design
The Gold Note T‑5 is a beautifully crafted turntable that embodies the essence of Italian high-end audio. With its sleek black lacquered plinth and ultra-clear glass platter, the T‑5 is designed for both sonic performance and visual elegance. The carefully sculpted chassis minimizes unwanted resonance, delivering a quiet and stable playback experience.
Smooth Operation, Refined Sound
Equipped with a 12 V synchronous motor and a high-damping EPDM belt, the T‑5 ensures consistent rotation at both 33⅓ and 45 RPM. Manual speed selection via pulley grooves keeps things simple and precise. Low wow & flutter (0.3%) and a rumble rating of –72 dB make it an excellent performer for its class.
High-Precision Bearing and Tonearm
The 15 mm thick glass platter rests on an inverted bearing with a 5 mm chromed-steel ball for low-friction, silent operation. The included 9″ Gold Note B‑5.2 tonearm features a lightweight aluminum arm wand, precision micro-ball bearings, adjustable VTA and azimuth, and a 3D‑printed headshell with high-quality OFC Hyper-Litz internal wiring—delivering excellent tracking and detail retrieval.
Vibration Control and Practical Details
Three adjustable NBR rubber feet provide a semi-floating suspension system, helping to isolate the turntable from external vibrations. A removable transparent acrylic dust cover protects the table while maintaining its elegant profile.
