Gold Note T-5 Turntable

Gold Note T-5 Turntable

Please note: The Gold Note T-5 turntable will be available from September 2024

The Gold Note T-5 turntable is a must-have for any audiophile looking for a compact, practical and high-quality turntable. This new addition to Gold Note's lineup is designed with the modern audiophile in mind, offering a unique sound signature that is a constant in all of their designs.

One of the standout features of the T-5 is its 15mm thick platter made of ultra-clear glass. This high-quality material not only provides the perfect density and structure for extracting fine details from your vinyl, but it also helps to minimise noise, ensuring a pure and clear sound. Paired with an inverted bearing, the platter is incredibly stable and offers frictionless rotation for an even better listening experience.

In addition to its superior sound quality, the T-5 is also built to be visually appealing and practical. The 23mm thick plinth is made of HDF, a strong and lightweight composite material, and is designed to reduce resonance by strategically removing material in key areas. The result is a turntable that not only looks sleek and elegant in its black lacquer finish but also offers exceptional sound quality.

Furthermore, the T-5 comes with Gold Note's acclaimed B-5.2 tonearm and a removable dust cover made of transparent acrylic. These additional features make the T-5 a complete and versatile turntable that is perfect for both beginners and seasoned audiophiles.

A new turntable: introducing the T-5

The all-new T-5 is our answer to the needs of contemporary audiophiles – a great performer designed to be compact, practical and smart. Our unique sound signature is the foundation for this turntable, and it’s a constant in our designs as our company DNA is rooted in the art of reproducing vinyl.

For the T-5, we have developed a 15mm thick platter made of ultra-clear glass, a high-quality material that provides the right density and structure to extract fine details from the groove while minimising noise. The platter is matched with an inverted bearing, an elegant solution to increase the stability of the platter while also ensuring frictionless rotation.

The plinth is 23mm thick and made of HDF, a high-density composite material that’s strong and light. The plinth is further refined by removing material in strategic points (around the motor, the bearing and the edges) to create a shape that minimises resonance by breaking the transmission pattern of vibrations.

Available with an elegant black lacquer finish, it comes with our acclaimed B-5.2 tonearm and the removable dust cover in transparent acrylic.

As all our turntables, the T-5 is made by hand in Italy with love and care.
