Goldring E2 Cartridge

Goldring E2 Cartridge - the E2 cartridge is the mid-range model in the series. It features the same round ground stylus as the E1. However, E2 has a higher quality aluminium stylus carrier. The carrier is stiffer and lighter, which allows the stylus to sample mid to high frequencies more accurately. This results in more detailed reproduction, lower distortion and fewer sampling errors during loud passages.

Magnetic Duplex Technology
The dual magnet design senses the geometry of the cutting head used in record mastering. This gives more precise scanning of the record groove. Therefore, it creates a better stereo separation, thereby immersing you in a more accurate, full-sounding soundstage.

Precise fine tuning
The stylus carrier is fine-tuned during the production process by use of a specifically designed adjustment screw that allows micro-scale adjustments. With this, the stylus can be installed in any typical turntable easily because the angle between the stylus and the record surface is preset. As a result, an optimum channel uniformity without the requirement of horizontal tracking adjustments is achieved.

Scanning stylus & stylus carrier
The E2 model features round-ground styli and a variety of stylus carriers. In essence, they are ideal upgrades for any low-cost, pre-assembled or ageing cartridge.
