Goldring E3 MM
MM Cartridge
£89
”A well-balanced performer that works well across a wide range of music.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.
Magnetic Duplex Technology for enhanced clarity
The Goldring E3 features Magnetic Duplex Technology (MDT) for class-leading sound quality. A ‘dual magnet’ generator assembly accurately traces the record groove providing better stereo separation and a more involving and musical sound.
Precise adjustment
With its special adjustment screw you can make the most precise adjustments to cartridge alignment. The result is optimised channel balance with zero degrees of horizontal tracking adjustment required. This ensures a consistent performance and reduced wear and tear on both the stylus and your records.
Elliptical stylus
Using an elliptical stylus, the range-topping E3 cartridge gets deeper into the groove – in every sense. Elliptical styli have a sharper profile and so go deeper into the record’s groove – meaning greater surface contact. This not only gives you improved sound but also reduced record wear.
Get the best from your records, with the Goldring E3.

WOW!
It may go without saying that sounds and music are very subjective, but this is easily the best cartridge that I've owned across the last 50 years!
Speaking as a professional bass player (and my current hi-fi system is pretty modest I guess - Rega P1 Eco Plus, Cambridge 340 Azure and KEF Q5 floorstanders) this Goldring E3 knocks the socks off anything in its own price range (and possibly some way above it too!).
If I listen to albums I've played on, I hear stuff I wasn't even aware of for the first time! The detail and sound-stage is outstanding, almost like an audio holograph - and the E3 is never shrill or hard in the upper and mid ranges, vocals sound great, and the bass end is solid, never overblown. The exact same is true for the rest of the albums I own - a fairly mixed bunch - and one revelation follows another!!
It's now a pleasure to listen to LPs old and new, and I find myself just totally immersed in the music itself - blissfully unaware of the system it's being played through - which I reckon speaks volumes! Big thanks to Goldring then, and of course to RS for their usual spot-on service.

Solid performer
Get the setup right and this gives a really nice sound. To my ears the tone and detail are excellent. Tracks very well.

My rega planar 3 had been dormant for 12 years
I have just installed this cartridge bought back in December and have been blown away by the difference between mp3 /cd and good quality vinyl. Bravo Richer Sounds. Always at the cutting edge of Technology and best value for money . Coupled to a Cyrus 5 amp and Advent speakers this was a wake up call

Excellent cartridge, bargain price
Wanted a new cartridge for an old Dual deck, that still had its original cartridge fitted; an Ortofon re-badged as Dual. Original though was Ortofon 2M Red. But looking at many reviews, including What Hi-Fi, Goldring E3 came out as a lot better for the same price. Very pleased with it, good sound accross the whole range, nicely refined, and a BIG step up from the one it replaced. Highly recommended!

Definite upgrade from an Ortofon OM10
I am currently using a vintage rega Planar 3 through an old NAD 70720 and upgraded from an Ortofon cart. Straightaway more detail and clarity and that essential element of just wanting to listen to your records because your enjoying the music!
