MOVING COIL CARTRIDGES

Goldring Legacy Series - Low MC Output - $1295

 
To ensure a cartridge reproduces an accurate transcription of the record groove, the cartridge components must be rigidly mounted to the tonearm, whilst simultaneously allowing the tiniest movements of the diamond stylus to be transmitted, via the cantilever, to the sensing coils The Legacy boasts an ultra low resonance magnesium metal body which is both very light and extremely strongFor convenience and rigidity, it has threaded inserts allowing the cartridge to be easily mounted and accurately aligned into theheadshell The stylus is a very low mass 'Vital' fine line diamond, which is highly polished and gives extremely low distortion Tomaintain rigidity, this is attached to a hard alloy cantilever which transfers the maximum level of detail from the diamond to thecoils; the latter are hand wound using only the highest purity copper To achieve the optimum compliance required to deliver asmooth, extended frequency response, the stylus damper is formed from a bespoke rubber mixture Lastly, a precision, rare earth,Neodymium iron boron magnet helps deliver outstanding dynamics

Elite Cartridge - Low MC Output - $900

 
 
The Elite is an ultra high-performance low-output moving coil cartridge which incorporates Goldring�??s most recent design features These include new magnetic circuitry, an ultra-rigid Pocan body and a Neodymium magnet

The Elite incorporates a Gyger 1 line contact stylus, providing maximum groove information retrieval and an outstandingly smooth and extended response Optimum damping on both channels is achieved by symmetrically winding the low-mass armature Silver wire is used for the coils, which supplies much higher definition than is found in standard cartridge construction

The Elite represents the very best in British audio technology and design
