The Goldring 1042 is a high-end cartridge designed for audiophiles who seek the pinnacle of sound performance coupled with the convenience of a user-replaceable stylus. Central to its design is the use of a nude, natural-diamond stylus featuring the innovative Gyger S profile. This advanced line-contact design is crafted to more closely replicate the original record cutting head compared to previous designs, significantly enhancing the overall sound quality.

The Gyger S stylus profile, with its precise 6 µm radius, ensures the stylus can trace the most minute groove details with absolute fidelity. This results in extraordinarily accurate and precise mid-range tonality, with high-frequency sibilance effectively eliminated. The unique extended side wall contact of the Gyger S diamond further allows the 1042 to achieve unmatched resolution of fine groove modulations, delivering a sound that is exceptionally detailed, smooth, and musical.

Listeners have praised its ability to provide a dynamic range of frequencies that are both engaging and delightful. This serious moving magnet design offers confidence and reliability for any audiophile looking to enhance their listening experience.
