About Goldring
Goldring was founded in 1906 by the Scharf brothers in Berlin, Germany, making it one of the world's oldest audio equipment manufacturers with 118 years of continuous operation. The company relocated to the UK in 1933 and has been based in Bury St Edmunds since 1974, where it operates as the UK's leading cartridge manufacturer. Gerry Sharp, grandson of founder Heinrich Scharf, has been instrumental in maintaining the company's legacy. Goldring specializes in hand-made turntable cartridges, phono cartridges, and vinyl record care products, celebrating '100 years of audio excellence' according to their social media presence. The company went public during the 1960s-70s but returned to private ownership, allowing them to focus on their core expertise in cartridge manufacturing. Goldring's products are renowned for their precision engineering and superior sound quality, serving both professional and consumer markets worldwide. Their commitment to traditional hand-manufacturing techniques combined with modern engineering ensures that each cartridge meets the highest standards of audio reproduction, maintaining their position as a respected name in the vinyl and turntable community.
