With Gold Note, ATR gains a manufacturer that has made a name for itself in recent years, particularly with high-quality turntables, phono preamplifiers, streaming components, and amplifiers. The products are entirely developed and manufactured in Italy, combining classic HiFi virtues with striking design and a clear sonic philosophy.
Italian HiFi Systems from a Single Source
Gold Note’s portfolio ranges from analog sources to digital streaming components, speakers, and power supplies. The company places particular emphasis on developing complete system solutions where all components are technically and acoustically matched to each other.
Among its most renowned products is the PH-1000 phono preamplifier, which has gained a reputation especially among ambitious vinyl listeners. Additionally, the product range includes the modular series 5.2, 10, and 1000, which can be flexibly combined to form complete HiFi systems.
Focus on Unadulterated Music Reproduction
According to Gold Note, its goal is to reproduce music as authentically as possible and without artificial tonal coloration. Instead of spectacular effects or deliberately tuned sound signatures, the focus of development is on the most faithful reconstruction of the recording possible.
Precisely this approach was apparently also a reason for the collaboration with ATR.
“Gold Note is an excellent fit for ATR,” explains Managing Director Markolf Heimann. “The brand stands for the same values that shape our own self-perception: sustainable product quality, technical substance, independent design, and an orientation towards authentic music reproduction.”
Expansion of the High-End Portfolio
By taking over the distribution, ATR strengthens its position in the upscale HiFi and high-end segment. At the same time, specialist dealers in Germany and Austria will now have direct access to the complete Gold Note product range.
Gold Note products are now available through ATR – Audio Trade.
