Customers say

Customers like the sound quality, value, detail, faith and ease of use of the moving magnet cartridge. For example, they mention it's a great entry level cartridge, the bass is solid and the treble is natural. They appreciate the clarity and the soundstage is huge. That said, they say it improves as it gets broken in and is a good upgrade without breaking the bank.

Excellent upgrade for a good price.
I recently bought a U-Turn Orbit Turntable. I ordered it with the Ortofon Red cartridge. I listened to it for a few weeks, but I wasn’t happy with the overall sound. I have a Denon amp and Bose 601 series 4 speakers along with a Klipsch sub. After reading on line reviews for 2 weeks, I bought the Goldring E3. I have to say, it’s improved the sound from my Orbit dramatically. Much clearer, richer sound that really improves the separation of instruments and voice. Not too much bass or treble on most LPs. Considering it’s about 80 bucks less than Ortofon Blue, it’s really a bargain. If you’re looking to upgrade, be assured you’ll love this cartridge. Check out the on line reviews…you’ll be convinced.I just wanted to add that the price has dropped to $149 due to a newer model coming out. The E4 is out in Europe and will be in the States soon. I’m not sure how much better it could be. The E3 is fabulous . I’m buying another E3 for when I need to replace the current one I’m using.
