Goldring Eroica LX

The Goldring Eroica LX comes from the British maker as a low output MC in the audiophile class. Its 0.5 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The Fritz Gyger stylus tracks from 1.5 to 2.0 g with 1.75 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info

The Goldring Eroica LX is a precise MC built around a Fritz Gyger stylus profile, giving an airy, highly detailed presentation with wide, sharply focused imaging. Vocals come through natural and expressive, dynamics feel lively and quick, while lean rather than weighty bass favors acoustic, jazz and vocal records. Surface noise and setup flaws show through, so careful alignment pays off. The stylus is integrated, and wear means a retip.
