Goldring E2 MM moving magnet cartridge and stylus

Goldring designs the E Series to accurately reproduce the original record production — preserving the musicality, rhythm and detail the artist intended. Each cartridge is straightforward to fit to most budget and mid-priced turntables.

The E2 sits in the middle of the range. It shares the same spherical stylus profile as the Goldring E1 but adds an aluminium cantilever. The stiffer, lighter cantilever traces medium to high frequencies more accurately, delivering more detail and reducing distortion and mis-tracking on loud passages.

Magnetic Duplex Technology™

Every E Series cartridge uses Magnetic Duplex Technology™ — a dual-magnet generator assembly with the same geometry as the original cutting head. This reproduces stereo groove information more accurately, improving channel separation and soundstage.

Expert adjustment

E Series cartridges include a production-stage adjustment screw that pre-sets the stylus angle relative to the record surface. No horizontal tracking adjustment is needed during fitting. The result is optimised channel balance and consistent performance throughout the product's life.

Stylus and cantilever

The E1 and E2, both fitted with spherical styli, make straightforward upgrades over budget, pre-fitted or obsolete cartridges. The E3 steps up to a super-elliptical stylus for those wanting to extract more detail from the groove.
