Goldring Introduce 'The Legacy' - Its Best Ever Turntable Cartridge.

Goldring has been helping people enjoy recorded music in their homes for more than 100 years. The Legacy cartridge, its finest ever design, is the culmination of a century's knowledge and experience.

Goldring is a brand of Armour Home. Tony Jones, Armour's Product Manager responsible for Goldring cartridges stated: "Each Legacy cartridge is hand crafted to achieve one simple goal: to retrieve the complete musical performance from a vinyl record; from the widest dynamic transient to the smallest subtle nuance."

Mr Jones continued: "To ensure The Legacy reproduces an accurate transcription of the record groove, it must be rigidly mounted to the tonearm, whilst simultaneously allowing the tiniest movements made by its diamond stylus to be transmitted, via the cantilever, to the sensing coils."

To accomplish its stated goal, the new Legacy cartridge boasts an ultra low resonance magnesium metal body which is both very light and extremely strong. For convenience and rigidity it has threaded inserts, allowing the cartridge to be easily mounted and accurately aligned into the tonearm's headshell. The diamond stylus is a highly polished, very low mass 'Vital' fine line design, chosen because of its exceptionally low distortion characteristic. To maintain rigidity, this is attached to a hard alloy cantilever which transfers the maximum level of detail from the diamond to the coils; the latter are hand wound using only the highest purity copper. The bespoke rubber mixture, used to form the stylus damper, ensures optimum compliance, helping The Legacy deliver a smooth, extended frequency response. Last, but by no means least, a precision, rare earth, Neodymium iron boron magnet contributes to its outstanding dynamics.
