Goldring Ethos
The Ethos is a truly high-end cartridge with a vital shank stylus and bare diamond. This multifaceted linear contact profile was chosen because it has a very low tip mass and large contact area while being very narrow front to back; even allowing undistorted retrieval of ultrasonic frequencies in a recording .
To properly process this information, the heart of the Ethos cartridge is Goldring's hand-built GOL-1 moving coil generator . Featuring a hand-wound cross-shaped soft iron armature and married to a low-resonance aircraft-grade aluminum frame, each one is precision-tuned by our expert craftsmen to achieve our finest level of performance. The result is that you simply immerse yourself in the musical experience, which is Ethos
