Q. Which Goldring cartridge suits second-hand records the best?
Answer:
Our recommendation for a well looked after but heavily played recording is to buy the most expensive stylus profile you can - so a
1042 or an
Ethos, as they can reach parts of the record groove that have rarely been before.
For absolutely trashed old records, you might want an
E1 to gloss over all the scratches. A good practical solution for listening to a mix of recordings would be to buy an
E3 and a spare
E1 stylus and interchange, depending on the condition of the records.
