Goldring

Goldring Ethos SE is an advanced moving coil cartridge designed for exceptional sound quality, featuring pure silver coils, a low-mass cross-armature core, and a vital line-contact diamond stylus. Engineered with a low-resonance aircraft-grade aluminum body, it offers superior detail retrieval, channel separation, and low coloration. Ideal for audiophiles, this cartridge provides a highly immersive and accurate musical experience.

Key Features

• Pure Silver Coils: Enhanced conductivity and reduced tip mass for improved tracking.
• Cross-Armature Core: Swedish iron construction for better channel separation.
• Vital Line-Contact Stylus: Minimizes distortion and enhances high-frequency response.
• Aluminum Body: Low-resonance, high rigidity for better sound quality.

Detailed Description

Pure Silver Coils

The Ethos SE uses Ag 9999 pure silver coil windings, resulting in lower internal resistance and fewer windings. This reduction in mass allows for improved tracking and enhanced transient response, reducing resonance and flattening frequency response across the audio band.

Low-Mass Cross-Armature Core

Utilizing high permeability Swedish iron in a low-mass cross-armature design, the Ethos SE provides improved channel separation. This design offers a realistic stereo soundstage, enhances high-frequency detail, reduces distortion, and minimizes mis-tracking.

Vital Line-Contact Stylus

The cartridge features a low tip-mass, large contact-area diamond stylus with a polyhedral line-contact profile. This design optimizes high-frequency response while minimizing distortion and resonance, delivering clear and precise audio reproduction.

GOL-1 Generator

Handmade by Goldring, the GOL-1 generator provides smooth and extended frequency response. The Ethos SE benefits from enhanced pole-shoes, creating a lower reluctance magnetic circuit for improved upper register detail.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Body

The cartridge is housed in a precision-milled 6082-T6 aluminum body, selected for its low density and rigidity. The anodized black finish adds durability and aesthetic appeal, contributing to its low-resonance performance.
