A good quality and excellent priced cartridge
I am very pleased with this purchase. I read other reviews online before I bought it. A good valued and good sounding cartridge. Very easy to set up and easy to align with it's square head. I have other cartridges ortofon and stanton but this one holds it own on sound quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Goldring E3 Violet...What an incredible stylus/cartridge combo from Goldring
Spectaclarĺy good.... After using an Ortofon 2M Red for well over 12 months I had become disillusioned withe bass response...with my CD's giving more solid bass than my turntable.. Following 'a lot' of research and listening to cartridges in a local HiFi studio I chose the Golring E3 and immediately the sound balance was better THE BASS WAS BACK.. I am still in the 'run in' period and there are still improvements becoming apperent. The Goldring E3 is IMO absolutely unbeatable at the "retail price point of £109.00" and with discounts readily available it's a "no brainer" The E3 can also be easily upgraded by retro fitting an "E4 'nude' Stylus for even higher quality sounds..Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Brilliant Cartridge
A brilliant cartridge. Bought to replace a Rega Bias and it's a massive improvement. Easy to install, lovely balanced and natural sound, and it tracks brilliantly when set up correctly. Best budget cartridge I've used by far, more entertaining than the Rega and has more warmth than the sterile and sometimes harsh Ortofon 2M red. The only reservation is that the Goldring's sensitivity is quite low so you need an amp with a decent power output so you can get some volume from it. It wasn't a problem for me with my old Arcam integrated's 70 watts but those with lower powered budget amps may find it a bit low level. Other than that, the E3 is terrific and I can't recommend it enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great moving magnet cartridge!
What a great moving magnet cartridge for the money! I've been using various Ortofons for the last 45 years! Mainly VMS 20s and 30s. Wanting a change I bought the Golding. Compared with the Ortofon in the same arm (SME detachable) it's brighter and punchy in the bass....none of that slightly relaxed 'comfortable' sound of the Ortofon.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent sounding cartridge
Installed this onto a Linn Basik Plus tonearm and Linn Axis turntable. It sounds really good with very good definition. Easy to install as well with captive nuts in the body of the cartridge. Would strongly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent sound for the price.
Fitted to my 1973 Lenco 75 turntable. Replaced an AT95E which did perform well. New cartridge produces a warm yet detailed sound with good mid range and well defined bass. Highly recommended.
