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 E3 cartridge, representing the top of the range features the same aluminium cantilever as the E2, but benefits from a superior, bonded, super-elliptical (0.3 x 0.7 mil) stylus. This gives it better high frequency detail retrieval over ordinary elliptical (0.4 x 0.7 mil) or spherical (0.6 mil) types due to its smaller front-to-back radius. The main effect is the reduction of sibilance, especially in high level vocal recordings.

Lily ★★★★★

The midrange has this openness I wasn’t expecting—vocals feel like they’re floating right between the speakers, and the rhythm section locks in with a snap that keeps my foot tapping. It’s a big step up from my old budget cart, and the musicality really comes through on busy jazz records.

Andrew E. ★★★★★

Swapped this onto my turntable last week and inner-groove distortion on my older jazz pressings basically disappeared. The stylus tracks so cleanly through worn vinyl that I'm hearing little details I'd written off as surface noise.

Adam D. ★★★★★

The difference in tracking is instantly obvious on worn vinyl, where inner-groove distortion I used to just accept has basically vanished. Rhythm and timing come through tight, and vocals sit where they should instead of smearing together. Two weeks in and I'm still catching details I missed before.
