GOLDRING GR-2 GR 2 GR2 TURNTABLE

Free US Ground S&H on the Goldring GR2 turntable

The Goldring GR2 turntable delivers a substantial sonic improvement over the GR1.2. First and foremost, the tonearm comes fitted with the ultra high quality Goldring 1012GX moving magnet cartridge which features the acclaimed ‘Gyger II’ profile stylus. This is a Fine Line type which produces exceptionally detailed and smooth treble, coupled with extremely low distortion.

The Goldring GR2 also uses a large (18mm) platter main bearing, which aids sound quality by reducing rumble. The low resonance Kronospan platter contains a heavy metal insert which encircles the platter close to the outer rim. This increases both the platter’s mass and fly-wheel effect, which in turn, improves speed accuracy and gives a more dynamic sound.
