Product Description

The Gyger S needle is a special feature of the Goldring G1042 Moving Magnet Cartridge. These superfine diamond tips let the needle get deeper into the record’s groove. The deeper the needle, the more complex the sound.

In addition, the stylus goes deeper but not wider. Which indicates that it does not harm the record in any manner, as low-quality styli can.

Smooth And Extended Frequency Response

Finely etched mu-metal is laminated to form the pole pieces around which are fitted two formerless coils of four thousand turns each. This unique design reduces mass and also makes for a very efficient magnetic circuit producing a higher than average output. This construction also reduces the loss at high frequencies inherent in conventional designs. Making for a smooth and extended frequency response.

Micro Miniature Alnico V Magnet

The 1000 series uses a unique ultra-low-mass, micro-miniature Alnico V magnet made to a tolerance that can be achieved by no other manufacturer worldwide. Welded to the magnet is a gold plated nickel tie-bar which provides an earth path for vinyl static charge build up and stabilses the cantilever in unwanted vibrational modes. The whole ultra-low-mass assembly is then mounted in a special butyl rubber polymer with optimised damping characteristics.

Horizontal Tracking Angle

The correct setting of stylus azimuth (or horizontal tracking angle) is essential for the maintenance of a proper stereo sound stage. Azimuth is the term used to describe the angle that the vertical centre-line of the stylus makes with the record surface and this must be exactly perpendicular to the record groove.

This is not usually a user adjustable parameter on most budget decks and so it is vital that the cartridge leaves the factory with the azimuth precisely set. Badly adjusted azimuth can cause uneven channel balance and increased crosstalk between channels which would severely degrade the stereo image.

In contrast with MC cartridges that have fixed styli. The 1042 is a Moving Magnet design and features a stylus that can be detached. Hence, if the stylus is broken or worn out it is possible to replace it. MM cartridges also have an almost universal compatibility with the vast majority of phono ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌pre-amps.

Enhanced Clarity

Using such a high-end stylus has a very positive effect on just about any music. Making the Goldring G1042 Moving Magnet Cartridge a universally good and versatile model. Rock music has a more substantial, cleaner bass. Dance music has more depth, and classical music has a truer timbre and sounds more natural with enhanced clarity.

Replaceable Stylus

It doesn’t matter what kind of music. The Goldring G1042 Moving Magnet Cartridge will improve the overall sound quality. Unlike MC cartridges with fixed styli. The G1042 is a Moving Magnet design with a detachable stylus. This makes it possible to replace the stylus when it eventually wears out.
