Goldring 1042 MM Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge

The Goldring 1042 is a cartridge for the
audiophile who demands the ultimate performance from his system. The extended
groove contact of it’s Gyger S diamond gives the 1042 unsurpassed
resolution of fine groove modulations, producing exceptionally detailed, smooth
and musical sound quality. A good moving magnet for mid-budget turntables.

The Goldring 1000 series are advanced moving magnet designs
that embrace all the advantages of modern phono-cartridge technology, including
improved tracking ability and user-replacement stylus assembly allowing the
immediate replacement of worn or damaged Styli.

The four 1000 Series cartridges all share the same strong,
one-piece body made from Pocan, an ultra-rigid glass-reinforced polyester. All
fixed parts can be held securely in place and the body can be tightly bolted to
the headshell. The 1000 Series are each endowed with a highly efficient
magnetic circuit which makes for a smooth and extended frequency response. As
with all Goldring cartridges, the 1000 Series is rigorously tested to ensure
optimum standards of performance and reliability.
