Product Summary
The Goldring E4 Moving Magnet Cartridge is the flagship model in Goldring’s E Series, designed to deliver the highest level of performance within the range. It offers a clear step up in refinement, detail and tracking ability, making it an excellent upgrade for modern budget and mid-range turntables.
It features a super elliptical nude diamond stylus, which provides more accurate groove contact than standard bonded designs. This improves detail retrieval, reduces distortion and delivers a more open and natural sound, particularly through the midrange and high frequencies.
Goldring’s Magnetic Duplex Technology uses a dual-magnet system aligned with the record cutting head geometry, improving channel separation and stereo imaging. Combined with a lightweight hollow aluminium cantilever, the E4 offers fast, controlled tracking and a dynamic, engaging presentation while remaining easy to install and compatible with most tonearms.
