Gold Note Mediterraneo
The curved Tuscan walnut plinth
The Mediterraneo is the deck that made Gold Note known beyond the hi-fi press, and that starts with the plinth: 60 mm of solid Italian walnut, curved along a catenary line. It is reinforced by a 20 mm acrylic board and a 3 mm stainless steel plate, and stands on three anodised aluminium spikes.
The platter is 45 mm of high-density POM, running on a tungsten ball in an 80 mm bearing of hardened carbon steel with a bronze bushing. That bearing length is why rumble measures −80 dB.
The tonearm is the B-7 Ceramic, Gold Note’s top arm in the series. No cartridge is included — you choose one to match your phono stage.
What the press says
„Decidedly worthy of my highest recommendation and Editor’s Choice Award!“
Dean Seislove, 30 November 2017 — reviewed together with the PH-10 phono stage
„If you are looking for a great looking, very good sounding turntable that is both easy to set up and listen to then get yourself a listen to this.“
Stuart Smith, 2019 — “Highly Recommended”. Tested with the B-5.1 arm; today the deck ships with the B-7 Ceramic only.
Who is this turntable for?
For listeners who want a deck that makes a statement in the room without giving anything away technically. The cartridge is your choice — budget for it and the phono stage, as the deck alone is only two thirds of the equation.
