This polyhedral, line-contact profile was chosen because it has a very low tip-mass and a large contact area whilst being very narrow from front to back; even enabling the undistorted retrieval of ultrasonic frequencies in a recording. In order to properly process this information, at the heart of the Ethos cartridge is Goldring’s hand-built GOL-1 moving-coil generator. Featuring a hand-wound cross-shaped, soft-iron armature and married to a low resonance aircraft aluminium chassis, each one is precision tuned by our expert craftsmen to achieve our best ever level of performance. The result is that one becomes simply immersed in the musical experience …and that’s our whole Ethos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3dc85c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent e-lazyloaded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e-con-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c87731d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a1de94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4.avif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7266\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4.avif 800w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-4-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4515c88 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9543e2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5.avif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7267\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5.avif 800w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/goldring-ethos-moving-coil-cartridge-5-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c77fedb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent e-lazyloaded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e-con-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-684326c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLine-Contact Stylus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line-contact diamond profile provides a large contact area with the groove wall, improving the retrieval of high frequency detail and reducing groove wear. Its vital-shaped shank has a low tip mass giving the design exceptionally good trackability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlloy Cantilever\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stiff and lightweight alloy cantilever tube has been tuned to the ideal length for cartridge stability and ride height. Its length has been optimized to reduce inertia in the suspension system and improve trackability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCross-Shaped Armature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coils are wound around a cross-shaped armature of pure, high-permeability, Swedish iron. The reduced unsprung mass improves the ability for the stylus to track the groove wall and the coil separation minimises cross-talk, improving the stereo image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimized Suspension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new damper pad uses a bespoke butyl rubber compound to keep the system critically damped.
