🇮🇹 If vinyl is your passion, Florence might just become your favourite city.

Gold Note's turntables are handcrafted in Tuscany, featuring a distinctive catenary-curve design that minimises resonance and looks great. Pairing one with one of their phono stages and cartridges creates an exceptional analogue front end.

The good news? Gold Note turntables are available to listen to at all three Real Music Company stores. If you're serious about vinyl, come in — we'd love to put a record on for you.
