Goldring: E1 Moving Magnet Cartridge Goldring

📌LAB POINTS

• handmade cartridge from British manufacturer, entry level model in the E-series range
• dual moving magnet cartridge (MM) w/ spherical stylus + carbon cantilever
• micro-adjusted during production to ensure accurate tracking with almost any turntable setup
• ‘dual magnet’ generator assembly tracks w/ better stereo separation + more detailed musical sound stage
• handmade in the UK

“The Goldring philosophy is to promote the accurate reproduction of the original recording, maintaining the creative nuances, musicality and rhythm the artist intended you to hear. With the versatile E Series, this is easy to achieve; each is designed to be simple to fit to the majority of budget to medium priced turntables. The E1 cartridge, the first in the range, utilises a carbon-fibre reinforced cantilever and bonded, spherical (0.6 mil) stylus with a round shank. Carbon is an effective alternative to more premium aluminium or boron materials, producing comparable results in most entry level hi-fi applications.” – Goldring
