Gold Note Giglio + B5.1

The Giglio model, one of our best creations, operates according to the same mechanical principles developed for the Mediterraneo. It represents a redefinition of the familiar shape of the turntable, using high-quality materials and new technical solutions to combine tradition and high technology.

The special curved shape gives this turntable a special stability, enabling superior performance data for clean, detailed music reproduction. The new polished "hourglass design" pulley allows the drive belt to run smoother with extremely low synchronisation fluctuations and rumble. The power supply for the 12V synchronous motor is made in Switzerland and is trimmed to musical perfection. Thanks to a special microcontroller circuit, the Giglio's drive has significantly reduced vibrations and develops high pulling power for full dynamics and resolution. At the same time, in addition to the 33/45 speed switching, it allows fine adjustment of the rotation speed, the values of which are stored. The Giglio has a 33mm platter made of the special semi-crystalline material Sustarin and a high-precision platter bearing manufactured to extremely tight tolerances.
