Goldring

Goldring makes phono cartridges. Its E3 is represented in a venue’s vinyl playback chain.

Design & approach

Goldring develops hand-made turntable cartridges and also offers cartridge inspection and repair. Its range includes moving-coil designs with different stylus and generator arrangements. A cartridge credit therefore identifies a serviceable mechanical and electrical component of the source, not simply an accessory to a turntable.

Equipment in use

Goldring E3 cartridges are listed on Siwilai’s Technics pair in its 2021 equipment information.

  • Turntables / cartridges: 2 × SL-1200MK2; E3 cartridges (Technics / Goldring)

Inside the system

Two OJAS installations serve separate rooms. The Live Room uses six 12-inch coaxial speakers. The Audiophile Bar combines OJAS 816 cabinets with Altec 311-90 horns, 288C compression drivers and Werner Jagusch crossovers. The bar’s February 2021 configuration includes Technics SL-1200MK2 turntables with Goldring E3 cartridges, a Urei 1620 mixer and reported McIntosh MC252 amplification. That dated configuration belongs to the Audiophile Bar and should be kept separate from the Live Room’s coaxial installation.
