Three cartridges, one impressive proprietary technology...

Goldring has begun shipping a new three-strong range of moving-magnet cartridges: the E-series.

Sensibly dubbed E1, E2 and E3, these new cartridges are intend as upgrades for the suddenly booming turntable market. Each features Goldring's bespoke Magnetic Duplex Technology, which utilises two magnets (one for each pickup coil) where competing designs use only one. Goldring says this arrangement reduces crosstalk and offers better stereo separation.

E1 (coloured red) will cost around£60. E2 (green) is £80 or so, and E3 (violet) more like £100. Each is optimised for the medium- to high-mass tonearms found on many mainstream turntables.

Simon Lucas is a technology journalist, with a strong emphasis on the audio/video side of consumer electronics and home entertainment, and has been since 2003. He worked for more than 14 years at What Hi-Fi?, the last six of which were spent as the editor of the magazine and website. Since then he's written for Wired, The Guardian, TechRadar, Stuff, GQ and many more besides. 

In the course of his career he's developed a pretty deep understanding of the way both the publishing and the electronics industries function, as well as the sort of intimate knowledge of audio products (both specific and general) that can make people very wary of him at parties.
