Gold Note Valore 425 Lite + B-5 Arm

“The Valore 425 Lite sounds true and does not show any kind of colorations. Its accuracy makes it a great turntable with which the emotion of the music is put forward. Despite a somewhat "artisanal" side, the Italian designers at Gold Note have given it a soul like many of their products have. Therefore it is a “Best” in its price category, maybe even the best of all.” - Pierre-Yves Maton (On-mag)

The new Valore 425 Lite is the best way to enjoy vinyls, a real performer to be used in a large variety of High-End systems. It features a 30mm thick plinth, wisely shaped around the motor and the platter's bearing to drastically reduce unwanted vibrations. The platter is 20mm thick and it's made using a special sandwich of HDF covered with Poly-Acetal (POM) able to enhance damping effect. Designed with a gap of just 3mm, such short platter/plinth distance helps in reducing noise and allows great rotational stability. Valore 425 Lite features a 9" tonearm derived from our acclaimed B-5.1 model and an exclusive high quality Dust Cover that protects the turntable and can be easily removed due to its custom detachable hinges.

The high precision platter bearing and spindle comes directly from the premium models to achieve the best audio quality in the category. A new polished hourglass motor pulley allows the belt to spin smoothly and effortlessly, reducing the wow&flutter and the noise. Valore 425 Lite features a 12Volt synchronous motor we developed using a special micro-controlled D/A Converter able to perfectly reshape the sinusoidal AC curve. Powered by our new proprietary design, the D/A Converter micro-controlled motor guarantees high precision speed and allows a perfect phase, controlling even the power in order to achieve high torque force at the start, and then smartly reducing the intensity once the speed is stabilized to minimize vibrations.
