Florentine manufacturer Gold Note was founded in 2012 and they make everything from cartridges to tonearms to turntables to phono stages to electronics, speakers, and power supplies. That’s their Mediterraneo turntable in a gold leaf finish. Che bello!

We are honored to be the exclusive US importer of Gold Note.”
