The Gold Note Anti Skate Bar is a precision-engineered tonearm accessory designed to improve the tracking accuracy and overall performance of Gold Note turntables. This simple yet essential component provides controlled anti-skating force, helping the tonearm maintain proper balance across the record groove—resulting in more accurate stereo imaging, reduced distortion, and minimized stylus/record wear.
Key Features
Precise Anti-Skate Compensation
The Anti Skate Bar allows you to apply a calibrated lateral force to the tonearm’s anti-skating mechanism, countering the inward pull that naturally occurs as the stylus tracks toward the center of the record. This helps keep the stylus centered and balanced in the groove for improved channel balance and sonic accuracy.
Designed for Gold Note Turntables
This accessory is specifically compatible with Gold Note tonearms such as the B-5 and B-5.1, and fits a range of Gold Note turntables, including Valore, Pianosa, Giglio, and Mediterraneo models. It integrates seamlessly with the factory-specified anti-skating system.
Simple Setup & Adjustment
Installation is straightforward: thread the anti-skating line over the adjustment bar grooves to select the correct compensation level based on your tracking force and cartridge setup. Proper anti-skate helps reduce distortion, uneven groove wear, and unwanted inward tracking bias.
Essential for Vinyl Fidelity
By ensuring the tonearm remains balanced throughout playback, this anti-skate bar supports optimal tracking, more stable soundstaging, and improved longevity of both stylus and records—making it a useful upgrade or replacement part for turntable enthusiasts seeking refined analog performance.
