Design and Build

The E2 cartridge features an aluminum cantilever and a bonded spherical stylus. The aluminum cantilever is both stiff and lightweight, enabling the stylus to trace medium to high frequencies more accurately. This design reduces distortion and mis-tracking during loud passages, enhancing overall sound quality. The cartridge is simple to install, making it suitable for a wide range of turntables.

Utilizing Goldring's Magnetic Duplex Technology™, the E2 employs a dual magnet generator assembly that mirrors the geometry of the original cutting head. This design enhances the accurate reproduction of stereo information from the record groove, resulting in better channel separation and a more engaging soundstage. The expert adjustment during production ensures the stylus angle is optimized for consistent performance throughout the cartridge's lifespan.

Versatility and Compatibility

The E2 is compatible with most budget to medium-priced turntables due to its standard fixing centers and straightforward installation process. The pre-set stylus angle eliminates the need for horizontal tracking adjustments, making it user-friendly for both novices and experienced users.
