Yamaha GT-5000 Turntable Winner Announced
Valued at $12,999 the Yamaha GT-5000 is the best prize ever offered on StereoNET for a competition, and we're pleased to now announce the winner.
A world-class turntable, it's little surprise we received thousands of entries. Entry was simple, all you had to do was tell us in 25 words or less - "If you could play only one album on the GT-5000, what would it be and why?" - and while there were many wonderful submissions (and some unusual and even weird), the mammoth task of judging the entries is now complete.
Without further ado, congratulations to Bartholomew Santamaria of Victoria, who said:
Radiohead Kid A because I want to hear the speakers disappear while playing 'How to Disappear' completely.
Yamaha Australia has now contacted the fortunate winner who as you would expect, couldn't believe he'd won!
Shaun McMahon, Assistant Marketing Manager at Yamaha Music Australia, told StereoNET:
We're excited to be launching Yamaha's new flagship GT-5000 in Australia. The fantastic response we've had at the StereoNET Melbourne Hi-Fi Show and to the competition is a testament to the enduring appeal of Hi-Fi.
We'd like to thank our readers and all those that entered, and genuinely appreciate the support of Yamaha Australia for their very generous prize.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
