{"product_id":"goldnotevalore425plussilverfoil","title":"Gold Note Valore 425 Plus Turntable, Silver Leaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Note Valore 425 Plus is a belt-driven turntable from Florence and the ideal entry point into the Italian Turntables Series: solidly built, finely adjustable and already fitted with the 9-inch B-5 tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn genuine silver leaf, the Valore gets a noble, shimmering surface applied by hand – discreet luxury instead of a loud statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Valore 425 Plus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30 mm thick plinth is shaped to dissipate vibrations rather than pass them on to the cartridge. The 23 mm thick platter, made of highly damped POM, is driven by a high-torque, silent 12 V synchronous motor via a ground NBR belt. The finely made 60 mm bearing with a 5 mm chrome-steel ball and the split-spindle clamping design ensure a calm, low-friction run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed is electronically controlled and can be finely adjusted – 33 1\/3 and 45 rpm at the push of a button instead of moving the belt. In other words: even running, low noise floor, no audible wow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valore 425 Plus is delivered with the 9-inch Gold Note B-5 tonearm (derived from the B-5.1), an external power supply and a transparent dust cover with hinges. You choose a matching cartridge. Anyone who wants more later can upgrade to the finer B-5.1 tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Valore 425 Plus for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a grown-up first high-end deck that can grow with them. Bottom line: if you expect full automation and a built-in phono stage, you're in the wrong place – the Valore is a purist deck and needs a separate phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a cartridge included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Valore 425 Plus comes with the B-5 tonearm fitted but without a cartridge. That way you tune the system – MM or MC – specifically to your taste and your phono stage. We're happy to advise you on the choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Valore\" means value in Italian – and that's exactly what this deck delivers: a lot of turntable for the money, cleanly built and with a genuine upgrade path. A deck you buy and keep for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: belt-driven turntable, handmade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: genuine silver leaf, black platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33 1\/3 and 45 rpm (±0.1%), electronic with fine adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWow \u0026 flutter: 0.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRumble: -75 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: 70 Shore NBR belt, high-torque 12 V synchronous motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: 23 mm, highly damped POM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter bearing: 60 mm, 5 mm chrome-steel ball bearing, split-spindle clamping design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: Gold Note B-5 (9 inches, derived from the B-5.1), upgradeable to B-5.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: external, 18 V, 100–240 V \/ 50–60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust cover: transparent, with hinges, removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: max. 20 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 425 × 170 × 360 mm (W × H × D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Valore 425 Plus and the smaller Valore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 425 Plus is built wider and accommodates a full 9-inch tonearm – here the B-5 rather than a shorter arm. This improves the tracking geometry and, with it, tracking accuracy and sound. It can also later be upgraded to the finer B-5.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Valore need a phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It delivers a pure turntable signal and needs a separate phono preamplifier, such as the Gold Note PH-10. We'll work out with you which one suits your cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Gold Note Valore 425 Plus at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a deck only sounds as good as its set-up.
