Goldring E4 Moving Magnet Cartridge
The Goldring E4 is the flagship moving magnet cartridge in Goldring’s E Series, designed to deliver maximum detail, clarity and tracking performance from a traditional MM design. Developed and manufactured in the UK, it represents the highest level of refinement available within the E Series range.
Featuring a nude elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a lightweight cantilever, the E4 offers improved groove contact and reduced distortion compared to bonded stylus designs. This results in greater high-frequency resolution, improved stereo imaging and lower record wear when correctly aligned.
The Goldring E4 is compatible with standard ½-inch mount tonearms and is suitable for a wide range of turntables, making it an ideal choice for listeners seeking a high-performance MM cartridge without moving to more complex phono stages.
