Unveiling the Nuances:
-
Line-Contact Stylus for Exceptional Detail: The heart of the Ethos lies in its innovative line-contact diamond stylus. This design boasts a large contact area with the record groove, maximizing the retrieval of high-frequency details and minimizing record wear. The vital-shaped shank with its exceptionally low tip-mass ensures flawless tracking of even the most intricate passages.
-
Precision-Engineered Cantilever: The Ethos features a stiff and lightweight alloy cantilever, meticulously tuned for optimal performance. This design minimizes inertia and enhances trackability, ensuring the stylus tracks the record groove with unparalleled precision.
-
Cross-Shaped Armature for Accurate Signal Reproduction: Goldring's expertise shines through in the Ethos' hand-wound, cross-shaped armature. Crafted from high-permeability Swedish iron, this design minimizes unsprung mass, further enhancing tracking ability. Additionally, the coil separation reduces unwanted crosstalk, resulting in a wider, more precise stereo image.
Uncompromising Performance:
-
Optimized Suspension for Ultimate Stability: The Ethos utilizes a bespoke butyl rubber damper pad to maintain critical damping throughout playback. This, combined with an expertly tensioned tie-wire, ensures the cartridge remains ultra-stable even during the most demanding passages.
-
Neodymium Magnet for Extended Frequency Response: A powerful neodymium magnet sits at the core of the Ethos, creating a perfectly uniform magnetic field. This design translates into a remarkably flat and extended frequency response, ensuring the cartridge faithfully reproduces the entire sonic spectrum of your vinyl recordings.
-
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Body for Uncolored Sound: The Ethos is housed in a precision-milled, low-density aluminum body. This rigid material minimizes unwanted resonances and maintains a low effective mass, ensuring the purest possible audio transmission.
