F.S – Turntable Gold Note Valore 425 Plus in Walnut (upgrade) + cartridge
This is the Plus version of the 425 which means it is either the acrylic version or with the walnut veneer option. Both said to improve damping of the plinth.
Seems retail is now at £1445 for these versions. A real looker of a turntable.
At the moment I have a cartridge attached which can be removed if only the TT is wanted on its own, pricing split below. Cartridge attached is an Audio Technica AT-OC9/III MC with low hours, maybe 250 or so.
There is a tweak done to this turntable making it more user friendly and sounds better. Stock Gold Note tonearms have their own variation of a DIN connector at it’s base. This means any cable upgrade options are only available via Gold Note direct at considerable cost.
So this TT’s tonearm went to Audio Origami who 3D printed a bespoke bung so a Cardas DIN connector could be swapped into the tonearm base. So now any DIN based cable upgrade can be used
Cable connected at the moment is short due to how I had it placed and was bespoke made for me by Parts Connexion in Canada, made up of cast solid silver, PTFE wrapped and screened cable into an 1877Phono (Zanfino) gold plated DIN connector. RCA’s are KLE silver plated varieties.
The stock cable which is great, has had its DIN connector swapped out to a Gothic Audio – so if you need a longer length you will be set.
Only other tweak which can be undone is I wrapped the bearing housing with some damping material – this can be removed if wanted.
