Goldring E1

The Goldring philosophy is to promote the accurate replication of the original record production, 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.

Magnetic Duplex Technology™

All cartridges in the range feature Magnetic Duplex Technology™-a 'dual magnet' generator assembly with an identical geometry to that of the original cutting head. This means it can more accurately reproduce the stereo information in the record groove, providing better channel separation and a more involving and musical sound stage.

Expert Adjustment

The E-series cartridges have been designed to allow micro-adjustments to be made during production using a special adjustment screw. This means the cartridge can be safely installed in a typical turntable because the angle that the stylus makes with the record surface has been pre-set. The result is an optimised channel balance with zero degrees of horizontal tracking adjustment required. This ensures a consistent and reassuring performance for the life of the product.

Stylus/Cantilever

Featuring spherical styli with a choice of cantilevers, the E1 and E2 models are ideal as an upgrade to any budget, pre-fitted or obsolete cartridge. The E3 model with its re­fined super elliptical stylus is a worthwhile upgrade for those wishing to squeeze even more information and detail from the record groove.

Replaced my Audio Technica AT 95 E
Tremendous sound clarity for the price, and I liked the AT 95 E!

Great low-end cartridge
I purchased the E1 as a replacement for the Audio-Technica AT-LP120's OEM unit. Having tried and tested several others I am very happy with the reproduction from this Goldring cartridge. It seems to be a perfect match for the AT-LP120 as it gives the top-end (treble) a slight lift. While this is a conical stylus, and the original AT95E is elliptical this sound vastly superior...at least to my ears. As always, this is highly subjective but I firmly believe this would be a worthwhile upgrade to any entry level cartridge.

a big cart for a small price
Sounds better than my good old elan, has more volume and fine drawing, the setup is simple and the design is very nice. An excellent sound absorber for a small price
