ones used by Gold Note may warm
up to 50° Celsius without creating
any problem

a buzz noise during
playing
The Motor warms up

during playing

the motor cover are too tightened

OIL FOR PLATTER
BEARING
PLATTER WOBBLING
SPEAKER HUMMING
PROBLEMS
• The Valore features a new auto
lubricant platter Graphite/Teflon
bearings.
The speakers hum
when the turntable is
wired to the system
The turntable is
supplied with an Oil
Jar to lubricate the
platter Spindle/Bear-
ing
The Platter wobbles
on its edges if
handled
• The Graphite/Teflon bearings are
elastic and have always a minimum
tolerance about that.
• The Turntable CAN NOT makes
any noise hearable into the speaker
by itself
• just put one or two drops of oil on
the spindle to help the smoothest spin.
• Anyway be sure to firmly clamp the
Split-Spindle tip into the platter
threading it using a metal pin to get
into the tip hole
