This month, we have a special feature on a brand we greatly admire - Gold Note. We learn about their meticulous design and build ethos - all manufactured in their factory within the idyllic Tuscan hills.
Linn has just released the much anticipated Bedrok plinth. Constructed from layered beech - the Bedrok is a beautiful-looking upgrade in performance for the iconic LP12 Sondek turntable.
Another future classic is the Rega Planar 3 RS Edition - a special edition turntable featuring a new aluminium metal skin HPL laminate, the handmade RB330 tonearm and the award-winning Nd5 moving magnet cartridge. These are limited and priced at £999. Find out more.
"il Suono Italiano"—the Italian Sound of Gold Note
Gold Note, based among the rolling hills of Tuscany, creates high-end audio products that capture the essence of "il Suono Italiano" — the Italian Sound.
Founded in 2012 by Maurizio Aterini, the company blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, drawing inspiration from the Florentine Renaissance's fusion of art & science.
Every Gold Note product is meticulously designed and assembled by hand at their factory in Montespertoli, ensuring exceptional build and sound quality.
‘We strive to emulate a fusion of past and future’, says Maurizo.
