Goldring E4 Replacement Stylus
Replacement stylus only, cartridge not included.

World-famous analogue audio specialist Goldring introduces its new flagship E Series moving magnet cartridge: E4. Designed as the ultimate upgrade for any modern budget or midrange turntable, E4 represents the pinnacle of E Series engineering and performance.

E4 is designed to be compatible with all medium-to-high-mass tonearms of the type found on the majority of budget to midrange turntables. And because it’s constructed using the same high-quality core as the other E Series cartridges in the range, E4 is ideal both for those who wish to upgrade an obsolete cartridge in its entirety or those who want to boost the performance of their existing E Series cartridge by replacing the stylus.

New super elliptical bare diamond needle

The E4 features a bare super-elliptical stylus measuring just 7.6 x 18 microns (0.3 x 0.7 mils) cut and polished from a single homogeneous piece of diamond. This results in a lower effective mass and improved rigidity, which means that high-frequency details can be sampled much better than with an elliptical stylus. The E4 is far less prone to error or ringing with high-frequency groove modulations, and due to its finely polished 7.6 micron profile, it reads even very narrow grooves better. Lower distortion, improved transient response and a smooth frequency response ensure superior audio fidelity compared to any comparable priced alternative.

Hollow aluminum cantilever

Complementing the low-mass stylus, the E4 features a hollow aluminum cantilever. The light weight and superior stiffness of the material allows the stylus to sample mid to high frequencies with greater accuracy, while reducing distortion and misalignment.
