The Gold Note B‑5.1 is a precision-engineered 9″ tonearm, handcrafted in Italy to deliver outstanding tracking accuracy and musical detail. Designed with four micro ceramic ball bearings, it offers ultra-low friction performance, revealing the full potential of your cartridge and vinyl collection.
It features a 242 mm effective length, 19 mm overhang, and a 24° offset angle, making it compatible with a wide range of high-end turntables. The straight aluminum arm wand is crafted from 6000-series alloy for optimal balance between rigidity and lightness, while the 23 mm mounting shaft ensures stable, vibration-free operation.
Key adjustments include vertical tracking angle (VTA), azimuth, hydraulic cueing, and five-position wire anti-skating—giving users complete control over setup. The included double counterweight system supports cartridges up to 15 g, with optional weights available for heavier cartridges.
Internally, the B‑5.1 uses AWG36 Hyper Litz shielded OFC cables for maximum signal purity, and comes with 1.5-meter DIN-to-RCA external cables for a clean connection to your phono stage.
