”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.

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!

Well worth it
Bought to replace stock stylus on my Onkyo deck. Didn't expect such a big difference, sound is much more open and defined. Great upgrade.

My records coming back to life
I bought a Goldring E3mm cartridge to replace an ageing K5 cartridge on my Linn Basik turntable. Easily fitted, Was amazed how my records came back to life. To say I was pleased is an understatement.

Golden Goldring E3
I was daft enough some time ago to give my old Goldring E3 away with a turntable I sold previously. Even though I have upgraded pretty much everything in my system including the cartridge, I was still curious to hear what the E3 would be like. You would not believe how good this £90 cartridge can sound. After a few days of running in the whole thing came alive. It sounds even better than I remember. Then again, I am using a better turntable, phono pre-amp and speakers but even so it shows you that the E3 is certainly not out of it's depth. It has a warmth about it that I prefer to the slightly analytical Ortofon 2M Blue, which is considerably more expensive and the 2M Red would not even come near. The E3 has a slightly lower output at 3.5mV so you may find yourself increasing the volume slightly. It's square shape makes alignment fairly straightforward and it tracks perfectly at 2.0g. You just can't go wrong...enjoy!!

Excellent value
Tracks well in my Goldring Lenco GL75 (low mass headshell) and sounds beautifully balanced and natural.
