Goldring hasn't been in the turntable game in a long while. Its peak popularity was in the 50s and 60s (with collaborations with fellow turntable brand Lenco) but, as vinyl's popularity faded, the 118-year-old brand continued specialising in cartridges rather than full decks.
Until now. Goldring has decided that a comeback to the turntable market is the right course, nearly 20 years after its last effort (the GR2 in 2005). It is a crowded market these days – Pro-Ject unveiled three new affordable decks last week, while Audio-Technica launched a flagship AT-LP8X model – but Goldring aims to combine audiophile principles with modern convenience.
