Product Summary
The Goldring E3 Moving Magnet Cartridge is the top model in Goldring’s E Series, designed to deliver a clear step up in performance for entry-level and mid-range turntables. It combines improved detail retrieval, excellent tracking ability and a lively, engaging sound, making it an ideal upgrade for vinyl listeners looking to get more from their records.
Fitted with a super elliptical diamond stylus, the E3 offers greater groove contact than standard elliptical designs, allowing it to extract more information from the record while reducing distortion and surface noise. This results in a cleaner, more open sound with improved separation and clarity across the frequency range.
Goldring’s lightweight body and rigid construction help maintain accurate tracking and minimise unwanted resonance, while the standard 1/2" mount ensures easy compatibility with a wide range of tonearms. With its strong performance and straightforward setup, the E3 is a highly capable upgrade for everyday vinyl listening.
