Goldring E2 Moving Magnet Cartridge

Product Summary

The Goldring E2 Moving Magnet Cartridge sits in the middle of Goldring’s E Series, offering a noticeable step up in detail and tracking performance over entry-level designs. It is an excellent upgrade for listeners who want improved clarity and definition while maintaining an easy-to-use, compatible cartridge setup.

Fitted with an elliptical diamond stylus, the E2 provides more accurate groove tracing than spherical designs, helping to extract finer musical detail while reducing distortion. This results in a more focused, open sound with better separation and improved overall balance.
