Detailed Description

Gyger S Stylus Profile

The Elite cartridge is equipped with a nude diamond stylus featuring the Gyger S profile. This line-contact design closely mirrors the record cutting head, enhancing sound reproduction accuracy. The stylus's design allows for detailed groove tracing, ensuring mid-range accuracy and high-frequency clarity, effectively eliminating sibilance.

Efficient Magnetic Circuit

Utilizing a neodymium (NdFeB) magnet, the Elite's magnetic circuit is designed to be compact while maintaining the necessary field strength. This design reduces the cartridge's overall mass, improving trackability and compatibility with a broader range of tonearms. The magnetic efficiency contributes to the cartridge's precise audio performance.

Low Mass Pocan® Body

The cartridge body is crafted from Pocan®, an ultra-rigid glass-reinforced polyester. This material provides a high strength-to-mass ratio, allowing the cartridge to maintain a low mass of under 6.0 g. The rigid structure of the body ensures secure attachment to the head shell, optimizing sound quality and efficiency.

Expert Adjustment

Each Goldring Elite cartridge is meticulously hand-built and adjusted by experts to ensure optimal performance. Precise settings for azimuth and compliance are crucial for maintaining stereo sound stage integrity. Proper azimuth alignment prevents channel imbalance and crosstalk, while correct compliance ensures a balanced frequency response, making the cartridge compatible with various tonearms.
