Turntables
Goldenote - Valore
The VALORE Compact is a real affordable high end audio turntable package offered with the B-5sc, a special customised Goldenote 8″ ball bearing tone arm based around the acclaimed B-5 and the BABELE MM cartridge.
The VALORE is available in three special finishes; Black, Smooth White and Silk Purple of its 30mm thick MDF plinth tuned to damp vibrational feedback.
The platter, spindle/bearing and the motor are directly derived from the Goldenote PICCOLO turntable.
The VALORE was the first Goldenote turntable available with a new synchronous motor design called: Highly Dampened Motor system, HDM, allowing a super silent smooth rotation so far unthinkable in AC motor design that completely redefines the concept of turntable performance.

Goldenote - Piccolo B5 arm and Babele cartridge combination
The Piccolo is a clear acryllic plinth rigid turntable. Like all the other turntables it is a belt driven unit. It produces a very smooth, detailed and natural sound. To achieve this high level of sonic performance the turntable is made of parts exclusively manufactured using precision machining and the very highest quality materials.
The turntable platter is made of 20mm thick acryllic supported on a 15mm thick transparent acrylic plinth rigidly coupled to its feet. The Piccolo uses a high quality precision pulley for smooth rotation.
The innovative platter bearing/spindle system is derived directly from the best turntable models. It is based on an external threaded bearing set up with an in axis housing and uses the Split-Spindle™. The bearing has two small graphite/Teflon® internal bearings enabling the Piccolo to perform very close to the standard set by the more expensive models.
The Piccolo now also offers the latest Goldenote exclusive Highly Dampened Motor system, HDM, allowing a super silent smooth rotation so far unthinkable for AC motor designs.

The Piccolo uses the Tulipan™, Goldenote’s high performance aluminium pulley supplied with every turntable in the range. Made in the shape of a flower, one can easily adjust its ‘petals’ wider or narrower for fine speed adjustment.

Goldenote - Bellavista Signature
The new Bellavista Signature is Goldenote’s best unsprung turntable. It features a 20mm thick rigid double plinth, decoupled with six brass spacers and a belt which drives a 22mm thick polyvinyl platter. Its sound qualities outperform the other unsprung Goldenote turntables on account of the very fine decoupling system that absorbs and dissipates vibrations. The rounded corners of the plinth also help to improve the rigidity of the entire structure.
More Details
This turntable is made of parts exclusively manufactured for Goldenote using the highest standards of machining and quality of materials to achieve an outstanding sonic performance.
The turntable features a 22mm thick platter that is made of solid black polyvinyl.
Underneath the platter there are 9 gold plated weights that increase the peripheral mass of the platter and ensure rotational stability.
The Goldenote Bellavista Signature also employs the Tulipan™ aluminium pulley made in the shape of a flower. Once the threaded cone inside is turned, the diameter of the Tulipan™ pulley changes to provide a super fine speed adjustment capability.
The innovative platter bearing/spindle system, much larger and longer than normal, is based on a bronze external threaded bearing that ensures perfect on-axis alignment of the Goldenote Split-Spindle™. Both are electronically machined and polished to tolerances better than 1/100 of a millimetre, enabling world class sound performance.
The two piece rectified steel Split-Spindle™ clamps the platter tightly, completely eliminating all unwanted vibrations and oscillations, that would otherwise interfere with the tone arm’s ability to accurately track the record. At the bottom of the external platter bearing a special threaded bearing made of Arnite© (one of the hardest and toughest self lubricant plastic polymers available) ensures the steadiness of turntable rotation.
