Description
Goldring E1 Phono Cartridge is the entry-level model in Goldring's 'E' family of high-performance cartridges. The E1 encapsulates the intricate design ethos of the 'E' range through its superbly precise reproduction of the subtle nuances of your vinyl, so you can listen to your music the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
The E1 is designed to be utilised with medium to high mass tonearms on the majority of mid-range turntables, so you can enjoy a versatile design.
High-Calibre Construction
The E1 showcases a carbon fibre reinforced cantilever alongside a spherical and bonded 0.6mil stylus and a smooth round shank. The model is constructed from carbon as a result of its effectiveness compared to aluminium to boron.
Superb Magnetic Duplex Technology
The E1, like all the cartridges in the 'E' family, showcase Magnetic Duplex Technology. This is a dual magnet generator assembly, which is brilliantly effective as it traces the record more precisely. As a result, you can enjoy enhanced stereo separation and a more immersive sound experience.
Great Stylus and Cantilever
The model showcases spherical styli with a choice of cantilevers and is ideal as an upgrade to any pre-fitted, budget or old cartridge.
Precise Adjustment
The E1 has been specially designed to allow micro-adjustments to be made during the production process by utilising a unique adjustment screw. Consequently, the cartridge can be safely installed in a standard turntable due to the angle that the stylus makes with the record surface being preordained.
As a result, you can enjoy an optimised channel balance with zero degrees of horizontal tracking adjustment needed. Sit back and enjoy a product with a long and consistent life.
Customer Reviews
Good as the AT3600 is and for me far better than Rega Carbon at about the same price, it was obvious that the turntable and arm are good enough to take a better cartridge. Just a little step up was the Goldring E1. And what a difference! Just the same as AT3600 it’s good for highs, lows and middle. But it’s real improvements are in the subtle musical things that are more difficult to describe but are obvious to hear. Music is full of the details that are heard in live events – tones, dynamics, timings that introduce a dimension that is the audible equivalent of holography.
I used to have a Rega P1 with a much more expensive cartridge than the Goldring E1. I have no hesitation in saying that the Goldring E1 coupled with the Lenco L3808 is far more satisfying – because they are far more musical. Far more!
