Why elliptical matters

An elliptical tip traces the record groove more precisely than a basic conical stylus. The result is finer detail, cleaner highs and lower distortion from the records you already own.

About the Goldring GL0061

From our tech experts at CEN

The Goldring E4 is a moving magnet phono cartridge in the E Series, with a nude elliptical stylus (8 µm / 0.3 mil radius) and 3.5 mV output. It covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz with channel separation above 20 dB at 1 kHz. The elliptical tip traces grooves more precisely than a conical stylus, reducing distortion and recovering detail in the upper frequencies.

Who it suits

The E4 suits vinyl listeners upgrading from a basic cartridge on a mid-range turntable, where a nude elliptical stylus makes a noticeable difference to detail and clarity. Those wanting a lower-cost entry point may prefer the Goldring E1 or Goldring E2, both with spherical styli.

Our tech experts advise

Set the tracking force between 1.5 g and 2.0 g; Goldring recommend 1.75 g. The fixing centres are 12.7 mm (0.5 in), standard on most decks, and the cartridge weighs 6.8 g. Your phono stage should be loaded at 47 kΩ with 100–200 pF capacitance. See the full Goldring collection for more options.
