Goldring 1022GX Moving Magnet Cartridge

Product Summary

The Goldring 1022GX Moving Magnet Cartridge sits toward the upper end of Goldring’s 1000 Series, offering a refined balance of detail, tracking precision and musical expression. It is designed for listeners who want a clear step up in performance while retaining the ease of use and compatibility of a moving magnet design.

Fitted with a Gyger I line-contact stylus, the 1022GX achieves a more accurate contact with the record groove than elliptical profiles, allowing it to extract finer detail and reduce distortion. This results in a more open, articulate sound with improved high-frequency clarity and better control across complex passages.

Goldring’s low-mass magnetic system and rigid body construction further enhance performance, delivering fast transient response and a stable, well-focused presentation. With a user-replaceable stylus and standard 1/2" mount, the 1022GX is a practical and high-quality upgrade for a wide range of turntables.
