Features

Balanced Output Achieves Full Balanced Signal Process
from Cartridge to Speaker

Together with the C-5000 pre-amplifier and M-5000 power
amplifier, Yamaha delivers an end-to-end balanced signal chain across its
flagship models for premier performance.

GT Series Design

Referencing the ‘Gold Age’ of Hi-Fi, the GT-5000 draws
inspiration from Yamaha original ‘Gigantic and Tremendous’ series turntables —
characterized by heavy wooden cabinets and platter which served to dampen
vibration and deliver improved performance.

Straight, Short Arm for Openness and Transparency in
Sound

Accurately capturing the audio from the source is the
imperative first step in delivering authentic, true Hi-Fi sound.

The flagship GT-5000 adopts a short, straight arm designed
to deliver superior rigidity as well as balance of weight and mechanics which
results in improved traceability.

A rigid mechanism with simple construction means there is no
need for an inside force canceler weight.

Customized Belt-Drive for Stabilizing Platter

The customized belt-drive mechanism of the GT-5000 minimizes
the influence of the motor cogging and excludes feedback control for an open
and smooth sound.

The original GT concept utilized the notion of internal mass
to counter feedback control. This is built upon with the GT-5000 which negates
feedback control through the belt-drive.

Heavy 5 kg Aluminum Platter

Further enhancing stability and performance is the heavy aluminum
platter of the GT-5000 which weighs in at a hefty 5 kg.

24-Pole, 2-Phase AC Synchronous Motor

The GT-5000 is driven by a 24-pole, 2-phase AC synchronous
motor that generates an accurate sine wave.

Custom, Heavy-Duty Feet

The GT-5000 exhibits exceptional rigidity and stability in
its design — extending to the specially designed feet which have been
tailor-made for the flagship model.

Heavy-duty yet exemplifying the luxurious look and feel of
the GT-5000, the custom feet ensure high-fidelity audio performance.

Luxurious Piano Black Finish

Worthy of the flagship Hi-Fi status, the GT-5000 boasts a
luxurious black gloss finish — reminiscent of a Yamaha grand piano — to match
perfectly with the C-5000 pre-amplifier, M-5000 power amplifier and the NS-5000
flagship speakers.
