The combination of efficiency and design The B-5.2 is an elegant high-performance tonearm completely designed and handmade in Italy with the greatest attention to details to achieve maximum precision and deliver a superior audio performance with all cartridges (up to 15g). Equipped with 4 high-precision micro ball bearings made in Germany by GRW – exclusively manufactured for Gold Note – singularly sealed and packed to preserve their integrity and enable noiseless tracking. The B-5.2 is a 9″ tonearm with an effective length of 242mm and a 19mm overhang, a perfect match that makes it easy to install on any high-end turntable. The quality of the chosen materials, such as the finely machined 6000 Aluminium, allows the B-5.2 to offer high rigidity and non-deformability to fully retrieve information from the vinyl groove. Featuring a finely machined stainless steel counterweight, it can be matched with the virtually any phono cartridges on the market. Optionally, additional weights are available to handle even those phono cartridges with a higher mass. The B-5.2 arm is the result of careful engineering, down to the smallest of details, resulting in a sound that is natural, elegant and refined, bringing to life your favorite music.
