Goldring E1 Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge
The E1 cartridge, the first in the range, utilizes a carbon-fibre reinforced cantilever and bonded, spherical 0.6 Millimetre 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.

Q What stylus does it use?
A 0.6mm bonded spherical stylus on a round shank, pre-set at the correct angle so it requires zero degrees of horizontal tracking adjustment during setup.
Q What technology gives it accurate channel separation?
Magnetic Duplex Technology — a dual-magnet generator assembly that matches the geometry of the original record cutting head, plus micro-adjustment during production for optimized channel balance.
Q What is the cantilever made of?
Carbon-fiber reinforced material.
Q What is its output voltage, tracking force, and compliance?
The product page doesn't list these specifications — worth checking Goldring's official spec sheet if those details matter for matching it to your tonearm and phono stage.
