The Giglio follows the beauty and technical innovation of
the new generation of turntable designed by Gold Note
featuring unique musical qualities and the legacy of strong
Tuscan origins.
The Giglio features a 50mm curved plinth made of
lacquered MDF or Harwood Walnut, quality materials
chosen for their exceptional elasticity,strength and high
density, being at the same time evocative of Tuscany
landscape, one of the most recognisable places in the
world, creating a strong union between the finished product
and the skilful local craftsmen who made it by hand.
The curved plinth is precisely cut in the inner side to find the
perfect tuning of the wood that is interfaced with a 3mm
stainless steel board. The structure is completed with a
20mm thick black polished acrylic top plinth, where the
electronic board of the turntable is installed, thus lowering
the frequency resonance.
The curved wooden plinth is the result of years of
research at the Gold Note engineering labs in order to
replace a bigger mass plinth of a more traditional rectangular
shape structure; the extra rigidity given by the curves of
the plinth allow a sophisticated technical design and a great
exclusive look.
The Giglio features a 12Volt synchronous motor
directly derived from Mediterraneo.
The PWM - Pulse Width Modulator - transforms the
power voltage in three steps, AC-DC-AC, enhancing the best
coupling of the AC semi-waves to cancel motor resistance
and vibrations allowing the highest motor torque at the same
time.
The Power Supply electronically controls the 33⅓rpm,
the 45rpm modes and the fine speed adjustment storing
the selection permanently in memory even when
disconnected from the power.
The new perfectly polished hourglass motor pulley also
allows the turntable belt to spin smoothly thus reducing
the wow&flutter and noise as never before.
The 80mm long platter Spindle/bearing comes
directly from the top quality design of the
Mediterraneo; it is fully recessed into the acrylic top
plinth in order to keep the thick platter as closest as
possible to the turntable structure to reduce
turbulences generated by the rotation and achieving a
virtual zero vibration point.
The platter is 35mm thick made of Polyvinyl, a very
elastic but deaf material, it features an extraordinary
ability to reduce vibrations while the high-mass
helps the rotational stability.
The platter is designed to operate at only 3mm from
the plinth. Such small platter/plinth interference
minimise turbulences for the greatest noiseless
functionality..
The choice of materials shows a dedication to the
native ground that goes beyond the musical
dimension of the product to create a truly unique
experience.
