Goldring 1012GX

The Gyger II is a fine-line nude diamond stylus designed to reach deeper into the record groove than standard elliptical shapes. This allows for more precise tracking of high-frequency information and reduced distortion across the entire frequency range.

The 1012GX uses a standard 1/2-inch mounting system, making it compatible with the vast majority of modern and vintage tonearms. As long as your turntable supports a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, it should be a straightforward installation.

Yes, the 1012GX features a user-replaceable stylus carrier. You can easily swap in a new stylus assembly without needing to remove or realign the entire cartridge body.

The recommended tracking force is between 1.5 and 2.0 grams, with 1.7 grams being the nominal setting for optimal performance. We suggest starting at 1.7 grams and adjusting slightly based on your specific tonearm and listening preference.

Yes, the Pocan body is ultra-rigid and low-mass, which helps dampen unwanted mechanical vibrations. By minimizing these resonances, the cartridge ensures a cleaner, more stable signal path from the groove to your speakers.

No, this is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge designed to work with standard MM phono stages. It requires a load resistance of 47 kΩ, which is the industry standard for almost all integrated amplifiers and external phono preamps.
