Goldring Eroica HX High-Output Moving Coil Cartridge

The Goldring Eroica HX is a high-output moving coil phono cartridge designed as a straightforward performance upgrade for vinyl systems. It combines many of the sonic benefits of a traditional moving coil design with output levels high enough to work with standard moving magnet phono inputs — meaning you can enjoy enhanced dynamics, improved stereo imaging, and controlled high frequencies without needing a dedicated MC phono stage. 

Features

• High-output moving coil design – Delivers MC performance while remaining compatible with moving magnet inputs.  
• Pure-iron cross-armature structure – Reduces effective mass and crosstalk for cleaner stereo separation.  
• Ultra-fine enamelled copper windings – For higher output and correct impedance matching.  
• Gyger II diamond stylus – Precision tracing with low distortion up to high frequencies.  
• Light but rigid Pocan® housing – Reduces coloration and protects the delicate mechanism.  
• Easy installation – Standard fitment for most tonearms with no additional adjustments needed.  
• Wide tonearm compatibility – Works with straight, S-shaped, or J-shaped arms of various materials.
