Even the best record players can be improved, and one of the easiest improvements is to upgrade the cartridge: it can change the characteristics of your sound in all kinds of ways and bring you even closer to the music. Goldring's newest cartridge, the Goldring E4, is designed to do exactly that.
Goldring has been around for over 100 years, and its cartridges were getting audiophiles excited as far back as the 1950s when their No. 500 was wowing readers of The Gramophone. The E4 is a lot more modern than those cartridges, of course, and the E Series has been a compelling upgrade since the first release in the early 2010s. The new E4 should be compatible with the majority of medium-to-high-mass tone arms and brings some crucial improvements that make it an interesting upgrade for existing E Series listeners too.
