Goldring Eroica Series Eroica LX Moving Coil Cartridge
The Eroica LX is a true audiophile moving-coil cartridge featuring the famous Gyger II diamond stylus profile. A nude, fine-line elliptical type with a 6 µm lesser radius, it gives smooth, extended highs, low distortion and reproduces a highly detailed and dynamic sound. The low output Eroica LX offers an exceptionally high standard of performance and reliability and must be used with an amplifier which features a dedicated moving coil phono input.

Efficient Magnetic Circuit
The Eroica uses a neodymium (NdFeB), rare-earth, permanent magnet; the strongest type commercially available. This gives us the opportunity to shorten the magnetic circuit in the cartridge and still achieve the required field strength in the pole shoe gap. In this way the overall mass of the cartridge has been reduced to help improve trackability and make it compatible with a wider range of tonearms.
Low Mass Pocan® Body
The Eroica uses a strong one piece body which holds the fixed parts securely in place. Made from a special type of ultra-rigid, glass reinforced polyester called Pocan®, the body can be tightly bolted to the head shell for maximum efficiency and optimum sound quality. Because Pocan® has a high strength-to-mass ratio, the overall mass of the Elite is kept below 6.0 g.
Expert Adjustment
Each Eroica cartridge is hand-built and then individually adjusted for azimuth and compliance by our experts. The correct setting of stylus azimuth (or horizontal tracking angle) is essential for the maintenance of a proper stereo sound stage. Badly adjusted azimuth can cause uneven channel balance and increased crosstalk between channels which would severely degrade the stereo image. Correct compliance ensures that the cartridge has an even frequency response within the specified limits and will be compatible with all low to medium-mass tonearms.
Q What is the Goldring Eroica LX and what is it used for?
It's a high-performance, low-output moving coil cartridge delivering smooth, extended highs, low distortion, and detailed, dynamic sound — it requires an amplifier or phono stage with a dedicated moving-coil input, unlike the higher-output Eroica HX.
Q What stylus does it use?
A Gyger II nude fine-line elliptical stylus (non-replaceable, though a re-tip service is available).
Q What is its output voltage and recommended tracking force?
A low output of 0.5 mV ±1dB at 1kHz, with a recommended tracking force of 1.5–2.0g (1.75g nominal).
Q How wide is its frequency response, and how well does it separate channels?
A frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz (±3dB), with channel separation of at least 25dB at 1kHz.
Q What is its cartridge mass and compliance?
It weighs 5.2g, with a static compliance of 25 mm/N and a load resistance of 100Ω — worth checking against your tonearm's effective mass and phono stage for a proper match.
