ℹ Product Information

Step into a world where impeccable craftsmanship meets unparalleled sound with the Gold Note Pianosa Turntable—a masterpiece born of a rich lineage and a relentless pursuit of audio perfection.

The Pianosa, standing proudly among its illustrious siblings, the Mediterraneo and Giglio, represents the zenith of audio engineering, encapsulated within a body that exudes sophistication and elegance.

Infused with an extraordinary cocktail of outstanding materials and exacting technical prowess, it faithfully upholds the auditory credo inscribed in the DNA of every GN turntable, a testament to our unyielding commitment to sonic excellence mined from the depths of innovation and premium materials.

The heart of this acoustic marvel beats within its catenary curved plinth—each one a labor of love—handcrafted to perfection by the most skilled Italian wood artisans, available in either the classic warmth of Italian walnut hardwood or a sleek, modern black lacquered MDF.

The Pianosa does not just stand; it reigns in supreme rigidity, its wooden base lovingly merged with a 20mm thick MDF sheet and further emboldened by a 3mm stainless steel plate, ensuring an immovable foundation for pure, undistorted sound.

And as we look after the world that inspires our designs, each walnut turntable is coated with an eco-friendly varnish, preserving its beauty and our planet alike.

The sound that emanates from the Pianosa is nothing short of auditory alchemy, aided by electronics and materials descended from our flagship models that ensure a vibration-free experience and augmented torque for unmatched dynamism and razor-sharp audio detail.

The platter floats on our high-precision bearing/spindle assembly, famous for the minimal coupling tolerance that is our hallmark, backed by a rectified spindle and chromed ball bearing that together guarantee a quiescent rotation pure as the driven snow.

Technically, the Pianosa is as formidable as it is visually stunning, boasting impeccable specs that include near-zero wow and flutter, an exceptionally quiet rumble, and precise electronic speed control.

A dedicated 70 shores rectified NBR belt drives a high torque synchronous motor, turning a dampened poly-vinyl platter that partners perfectly with the Gold Note B-5.1 tonearm, to ensure every nuance and whisper of your favorite music is faithfully communicated.

This turntable does not just play records; it breathes life into them. Encased elegantly with a transparent dust cover and available in finishes that showcase Italian craftsmanship at its finest, your Pianosa can even be elevated further with upgrades like the external inductive power supply PST-10 and the B-7 Ceramic tonearm.

The Pianosa is not merely a turntable; it is the physical embodiment of our passion for purity in sound and design—a storied heritage spun into every detail, inviting you to a vinyl experience beyond compare.

Sound quality is excellent for the price, having demo'd others in the price range. Running over wifi it is solid, no drop outs, same with Bluetooth. Streams Spotify, Qobuz, iHeartRadio sources with built in services, and Listnr by Bluetooth. Playback from NAS is good once it indexes the files, and no issues with FLAC, ALAC, AAC files at all. Gapless playback as well which is nice. Hopefully it will also support new Spotify Hi Res being released shortly. So far has already received 1 update and my 1 query to Marantz support here in Aus was responded to next business day, so good support which is important to me. Heos app is a bit clunky but functional. Haven't tried Room yet but was demo'd with Room so it's compatible. Dirac is option I haven't tried yet - requires license purchase - presently very happy with sound quality through my Kef stand mounts in my living room. No front display, all control by app, just volume and pause/play buttons on the unit itself. No IR remote, however can learn any remote if needed. Haven't tried HDMI but it is supported including CEC. It's only a small unit, looks tiny in the rack having replaced a larger amp, dac and laptop source. AC power direct into it so it doesn't need a lot of room. I like my music around 75+dB and when driving it doesn't get hot, just a little warm, plenty of power for my needs. The team at The Audio Tailor were excellent, laid back, no pressure, honest opinions and able to demo lots of devices. Highly recommend giving them a go.

He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?
