Goldring E2 Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge
The E2 cartridge, the middle in the range, features the same spherical stylus profile as the E1 but with the additional benefit of an upgraded aluminium cantilever. This is both stiff and light weight allowing the stylus to more accurately trace medium to high frequencies offering more detail and reducing distortion and mis-tracking during loud passages.

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.

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 is the Goldring E2 and how does it improve on the entry-level E1?
It's the mid-range moving magnet cartridge in Goldring's E Series, keeping the same spherical stylus as the entry-level E1 but upgrading to an aluminum cantilever that's stiffer and lighter, improving medium-to-high frequency tracking and reducing distortion.
Q What stylus does it use?
A spherical stylus, paired with the upgraded aluminum cantilever for more accurate high-frequency tracing.
Q What technology gives it accurate channel separation?
Magnetic Duplex Technology — a dual-magnet generator assembly that mirrors the original record cutting head's geometry, pre-set at the correct stylus angle so it requires zero degrees of horizontal tracking adjustment during setup.
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.
Q What's the SKU for this cartridge?
GL0056.
