sophisticated audio products featuring unique and innovative
technical and aesthetic characteristics.

The Valore 425 Plus is the definitive evolution of the Valore
(400mm) produced by Gold Note since 2010, one of the most
successful Gold Note High-End Audio turntables created to
combineaudio performance with high quality finishes.

The Valore 425 Plus features a 30mm thick plinth precisely
shaped around the platter's bearing system and the motor to
drastically reduce all vibrations.

The Valore 425 Plus platter is 23mm thick and made of acrylic.

The design of the platter and the 60mm long platter bearing
and spindle system come directly from our top level turntables
and are finely machined to make this turntable the best
performer of the category.

The Valore 425 Plus platter is designed to spin as close as
possible to the plinth (only 3mm) thus reducing turbulence
and achieving a great noiseless rotational stability.

The features a 12Volt synchronous motor electronically
controlled by our PWM technology.

The PWM - Pulse Width Modulator - transforms the power
voltage in three steps, AC-DC-AC, enhancing the best coupling
of the AC semi-waves to cancel motor resistance and vibrations
allowing the highest motor torque at the same time.

The Power Supply electronically controls the 33

rpm, the

45rpm modes and the fine speed adjustment storing the
selection permanently in memory even when disconnected
from the power.

The new perfectly polished hourglass motor pulley also allows
the turntable belt to spin smoothly thus reducing the
wow&flutter and noise as never before.

The Valore 425 Plus can be equipped with 9” tonearms of any
manufacturer thus allowing many options and combinations.

As standard, Valore 425 Plus is offered completed with a Gold
Note dedicated 9” arm and the Dust Cover.
