Offered is „Valore 425 Plus Acrylic turntable and B-5 tonearm, ex-demo“ by Goldnote as exhibit from the category „Pick-up“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8491675684 ends on 29.10.2026 at 16:29 o'clock.
This €1,100 asking price is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used range of €1,299–€1,400 for the Valore 425 Plus and roughly €300 under its current new low of €1,390 for black. Even the Lite version with a cartridge recently sold used for €940, making this Plus listing without a cartridge an excellent value.
The Valore 425 Plus remains a highly regarded Italian turntable from 2021, praised for delivering far more performance than its price suggests, with a beautiful aesthetic and a robust 10kg build. Its timing is ideal: it has no direct successor that overshadows it, and buying now locks in premium analog performance at entry-level pricing. With condition listed as “good,” this is a buying opportunity for enthusiasts wanting a refined, well-balanced deck without the new markup.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Gold Note traces its roots to Florence, Tuscany, where Maurizio Aterini founded the company in 2012 after decades in high-end audio design. Building on his earlier ventures—starting with the 1992 Bluenote studio that crafted innovative tonearms like the enduring B-5—Aterini channeled over 25 years of expertise into a brand rooted in Italian craftsmanship. From its rural Montespertoli base, Gold Note manufactures every component in-house, blending Renaissance-inspired innovation with Tuscan tradition to pursue uncompromised sound.
The brand excels in a vertically integrated lineup spanning analogue and digital domains, including acclaimed turntables, amplifiers, DACs, preamplifiers, phono stages, and loudspeakers. Signature products like the B-5 tonearm persist across models, while electronics emphasize clean circuitry, robust power supplies, and functional Italian design. This complete system approach allows audiophiles to assemble full Gold Note chains, delivering their hallmark "Italian Sound"—full-bodied, dynamic, and spatially precise.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Gold Note commands respect among experts and enthusiasts for reliability, sonic excellence, and relentless R&D. Sold in over 40 countries, it stands as Italy's leading high-end manufacturer, offering boutique quality without exorbitant pricing through optimized production.
