Ethos is a high-end cartridge with a naked diamond stylus with Vital mount.
This polyhedral line contact profile was chosen because it has a very low tip mass and a large contact area while being very narrow from front to back; also allowing distortion-free recovery of ultrasonic frequencies in a recording.
To properly process this information, the heart of the Ethos cartridge is Goldring’s hand-built GOL-1 moving coil generator. Featuring a hand-wound cross-shaped soft iron armature and married to a low-resonance aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, each is precision-tuned by expert craftsmen to achieve the absolute best level of performance.
The result is that one simply immerses oneself in the musical experience... and that is the whole Goldring ethos.
