Goldring Excel GS moving coil cartridge

For sale - Goldring Excel GS cartridge

This is a recent purchase from Goldring, who found some NOS parts and made a small batch of the Gyger S - tipped version of the Excel moving coil cartridge. This has around 50 hours of play, and has the following specs:

Weight 8.5 grams
Tracking 1.7 grams
Output 0.5mV
Static Compliance 16 mm/N

It is this last spec that means it is better on light/medium mass arms. I had it working on a 12 inch (14 gram effective mass) arm, which was fine, but it was better on a friend's lighter 9 inch. I would recommend arms of less than 12 grams for it, such as SME 5, SME 3009 improved, or even SME series 3, Mission or Hadcock.

This is a really good cartridge - detailed, dynamic and sweet, and is high value for money imo.

Selling price £295 incl delivery in UK.

The Gyger S stylus works really well on this, and as I am told a re-tip at Goldring can be had for around £250, future running costs should be extremely reaaonable.

Slight price reduction - £275 delivered

wow!! :)
this is an exceptional cartridge. unbeatable for this relatively low asking.
You'd have to spend a hell of a lot more to get this level of presentation.

it's a very fine looker to boot!
