Efficient Magnetic Circuit
The Eroica LX employs a neodymium rare-earth permanent magnet, allowing for a shortened magnetic circuit that still achieves the required field strength. This design reduces the overall mass of the cartridge, enhancing trackability and compatibility with a wider range of tonearms.
Low Mass Pocan® Body
The cartridge's body is made from Pocan®, a type of ultra-rigid, glass-reinforced polyester. This material provides a high strength-to-mass ratio, keeping the overall mass below 6.0 grams. The rigid body ensures that all fixed parts are securely held in place, optimizing sound quality.
Expert Adjustment
Each Eroica LX cartridge is meticulously hand-built and adjusted for azimuth and compliance by Goldring's experts. Proper stylus azimuth and compliance are crucial for maintaining a stereo sound stage and ensuring compatibility with low to medium-mass tonearms. This precision adjustment prevents uneven channel balance and minimizes crosstalk, ensuring a clear and immersive listening experience.
Compatibility and Performance
The low output of the Eroica LX means it should be used with an amplifier featuring a dedicated moving coil phono input. Its design and construction make it an ideal choice for those looking to upgrade their audio system with a cartridge that offers both superior performance and reliability.
Upgrade Your Audio Experience
The Goldring Eroica LX is more than just a cartridge; it's a gateway to a higher level of audio fidelity. Whether you're an audiophile looking to upgrade or a vinyl enthusiast seeking the best sound quality, the Eroica LX promises to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.
