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.
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 Aluminium Platter
Further enhancing stability and performance is the heavy aluminium 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.
