The Goldring Legacy is a high-performance record cartridge engineered to deliver an exceptionally accurate reproduction of the record groove. Central to its design is the ultra-low resonance magnesium metal body, renowned for being both lightweight and exceptionally strong. This design choice ensures that the cartridge remains rigidly attached to the tone arm while still permitting the subtle movements of the diamond stylus to be effectively relayed through the cantilever to the sensing coils.
To enhance convenience and ensure precise alignment, the Legacy features threaded inserts, which simplify the process of mounting and securing the cartridge into the headshell. This careful attention to design detail not only simplifies setup but also maximizes performance.
At the heart of the Legacy is the 'Vital' fine-line diamond stylus. This stylus is crafted to be of very low mass and is highly polished, yielding remarkably low distortion and accurate sound reproduction. The stylus is affixed to a robust hard alloy cantilever, which plays a crucial role in transferring intricate audio details from the diamond to the coils. The coils themselves are meticulously hand-wound, utilizing only the highest purity copper, ensuring an exceptional level of fidelity and sound clarity that audiophiles demand.
In summary, the Goldring Legacy is a testament to precision engineering and high-quality materials, all contributing to a superior listening experience characterized by accurate, high-fidelity audio reproduction.
