Goldring E4 Cartridge

Goldring E4 Cartridge - a design that is compatible with all medium to high-mass tonearms. Its construction is based on high-quality core similar to the E Series cartridges in this range. Essentially, the cartridge is ideal for upgrading the entirety of an obsolete cartridge. Particularly, the E4 is designed to boost the performance of the existing E Series cartridge by replacing the stylus.

New super-elliptical nude diamond stylus
The E4 comes with a ‘nude’ super-elliptical stylus of 7.6 x 18 microns (0.3 x 0.7 mil), cut and polished from a single homogeneous piece of diamond, resulting to a lower effective tip mass of improved rigidity. In turn, this means its ability to retrieve high-frequency detail is significantly improved in comparison to the ‘bonded’ elliptical stylus alternative.

It is highly unlikely to ‘mis-track’ or overshoot when tracing high-frequency groove modulations. With its finely polished 7.6-micron profile, it can effectively fit into closely packed inner grooves. Additionally, lower distortion, improved transient response and a flat frequency response are contributing factors that make E4 a superior fidelity when compared to any alternative.
