New, the P-1000 MkII Deluxe is currently around USD 9,295, so USD 3,999 is a compelling used price—roughly 43% of new. Used-market data is thin, but this is comfortably in bargain territory if it is the genuine MkII and not a different configuration.
It is a serious Italian Class A line stage: fully balanced through the signal path, with unusually generous RCA/XLR connectivity, excellent measured noise and separation, and a notably spacious, natural presentation. The external power-supply and tube-output options also give the platform meaningful upgrade potential. At USD 3,999, a clean, fully functional example with its power supply, remote, and original accessories deserves prompt attention; verify the exact Deluxe specification and check that every input, output, display, and control operates properly.
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.

This complete system approach allows audiophiles to assemble full Gold Note chains, delivering their hallmark "Italian Sound"—full-bodied, dynamic, and spatially precise.
