The story of Gold Note is rooted in dedication and talent, starting from the picturesque Florentine hills and branching out globally, with a significant presence in North America. This journey begins with a young Maurizio Aterini, whose life changed forever in the late 1970s when he received a stereo system from his father. This sparked a lifelong passion for audio systems, leading Maurizio to pursue engineering and eventually establish a technical design studio in 1992.

Gold Note’s reputation for excellence began with their meticulously designed B-5 tonearm, which remains a staple on their turntables today. As the company grew, so did its team, eventually including Maurizio’s wife, Elena Basciano, who brought her extensive HR experience from multinational corporations, and Alessio Oronti, who stepped into an executive role.

Recognizing a shift in the market and the opportunities in the expansive North American landscape, especially in the USA and Canada, Gold Note transitioned from serving third-party clients to establishing its own distinct brand in 2012. This strategic pivot was geared towards directly addressing the sophisticated demands of North American audiophiles, who value not only technical excellence but also heritage and design.

Today, more than a decade later, Gold Note has cemented its position in major markets across the U.S. and Canada. The brand is celebrated for its family-oriented approach and Italian aesthetic, appealing to a diverse clientele that values both innovation and tradition. Gold Note stands as a beacon of reliability and sonic quality, continually pushing the boundaries of audio engineering to cater to a discerning North American audience in a crowded and competitive audiophile market.
