Goldring Elite
Goldring Elite MM cartridge fitted with a Gyger S stylus and a neodymium magnet generator, designed for precise vinyl playback.
Description
The Goldring Elite is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, designed to fit onto a turntable's tonearm and convert the groove variations into an electrical signal usable by a phono preamplifier.
Its stylus features a Gyger S profile, also known as Fine Line, whose shape closely resembles that of the cutting tool used when engraving the record. This profile allows it to track the finest variations in the groove more precisely, resulting in an accurate reproduction of the musical signal's detail. The internal generator uses a neodymium magnet, a material valued in hi-fi for its ability to increase the cartridge's output level while keeping its overall weight down.
This cartridge is aimed at turntable enthusiasts looking for refined playback, capable of reproducing the nuances of recordings without excessively burdening the tonearm, thanks to the lightness provided by the neodymium magnet.
What to check before buying used
The Gyger S stylus is fragile and its alignment within the stylus holder directly affects playback: check for any skipping or high-frequency hissing, which are symptoms of a worn or misaligned stylus. The connecting wires and pins at the rear of the body can oxidise or come loose over time, causing channel loss. Also check the cantilever suspension, which stiffens with age and impairs groove tracking during heavily modulated passages.
