Goldring Legacy
High-end cartridge from Goldring, fitted with a polished Vital diamond stylus and a neodymium-boron magnet generator.
Description
The Goldring Legacy is a cartridge that represents the pinnacle of the range from British manufacturer Goldring. Designed to be fitted to a turntable, its role is to convert the micro-variations engraved in the groove into an electrical signal that can be used by a phono preamplifier.
This cartridge stands out for its diamond cut to the "Vital" profile, whose polishing has been carried out with particular care to accurately reproduce the finest details engraved in the groove. The generator is built around a magnet made from a neodymium-boron alloy, a technology that allows for compact, high-performance generators.
The Goldring Legacy is aimed at vinyl enthusiasts who already own a quality turntable and tonearm, and who are looking to get the best out of them with a high-end cartridge. It naturally finds its place in a carefully assembled hi-fi system, where every link in the chain matters for sound reproduction.
What to check before buying used
The Vital-cut diamond stylus wears down gradually and loses its precision after several hundred hours of playback, a criterion that is difficult to assess without a microscope or listening bench. The cantilever suspension, a soft rubber component, hardens or loosens over the years, which affects groove tracking and can cause the azimuth to drift. Also check the condition of the connection pins and make sure there is no play in the cartridge body, which could indicate a previous impact.
