Detailed Description
Magnetic Duplex Technology™
Goldring E3 employs Magnetic Duplex Technology™, which utilizes a dual magnet generator assembly that mimics the geometry of the original cutting head. This design enables the cartridge to reproduce stereo information more accurately, enhancing channel separation and delivering a more engaging and musical sound stage.
Pre-Set Stylus Angle
The E3 cartridge comes with a pre-set stylus angle, made possible by micro-adjustments during production using a special adjustment screw. This feature allows for easy installation in most turntables, ensuring optimized channel balance without requiring horizontal tracking adjustment. The result is a consistent and reliable performance throughout the product's life.
Super Elliptical Stylus
The Goldring E3 features a super elliptical stylus with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil radius, which provides better high-frequency detail retrieval compared to standard elliptical or spherical styli. This stylus shape reduces sibilance, particularly in high-level vocal recordings, and extracts more information and detail from the record groove, making it a significant upgrade over budget cartridges.
