The venue is close to some of the city’s best restaurants, the shopping district, historical ‘The Rocks’ area, Sydney’s glorious harbour and the iconic Opera House.

There, in a small industrial park, you’ll find Gold Note, a quintessentially Italian audio company creating products spanning the entire gamut of the audio chain from source to speakers. Of course, cabling is required too, as is an attractive audio rack to sit components on – see the gorgeous Galileo audio racking system. Full solution?
