{"product_id":"gold-eroica-hx","title":"Goldring Eroica HX Cartridge","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eGoldring, introduces the latest member of its moving coil cartridge family, the Eroica HX. Joining the award-winning LX model in the Eroica range ('Eroica' translates as 'Heroic' in Italian), this high output, high-performance cartridge makes upgrading from a moving magnet cartridge to a moving-coil model straightforward. It achieves this by delivering a stunning moving coil performance from a moving magnet input and is one of the most obvious and cost-effective upgrades you can make to your vinyl audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew, pure-iron cross-armature design for low crosstalk and reduced effective mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-fine, enamelled-copper windings for higher output and correct impedance matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Gyger II diamond stylus that traces frequencies as high as 50kHz without distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing made from lightweight Pocan\u003csup\u003e\u003csmall\u003e®\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e composite material, chosen for its anti-colouration properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClear upgrade path to moving coil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe demanding nature of moving coil designs often prevents a clear upgrade path for vinyl enthusiasts. With the Eroica HX, turntable owners can enjoy the greatest gains in performance of an MC cartridge without the hassle of a system-wide upheaval - this cartridge delivers a stunning moving coil performance from a moving magnet input\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArriving at a price comparable to that of a good moving magnet cartridge, Eroica HX is designed to work straight from the box, and to slot into your existing system with no fuss whatsoever. Simply install it in place of your old moving magnet cartridge, and enjoy improved dynamics, enhanced stereo imaging and controlled, distortion-free high frequencies immediately, with no additional equipment or any system adjustments required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks with moving magnet inputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEroica HX manages to combine thrillingly accomplished performance with unheard-of ease of use thanks to Goldring's engineering know-how. By using numerous ultra-fine enamelled-copper windings - so fine they literally float - Eroica HX has output sufficient to work with moving magnet phono inputs without compromising the low crosstalk that moving coil designs are prized for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure-iron cross-armature design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy deploying a new pure-iron cross-armature, the copper windings have a permeable path for the parallel magnetic field in which to operate, resulting in greater output and correct impedance matching. In addition, the cross-shape design can separate left and right stereo channels far more effectively than the moving magnet alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGyger II diamond stylus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEroica HX's Gyger II diamond stylus has a tiny five micron playing radius, which means it can trace frequencies as high as 50kHz without distortion, and thanks to the cross-armature's low mass it can react to musical transients with absolute precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight but rigid Pocan housing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is, unsurprisingly, a delicate mechanism.

Its standard size fitment means it can be mounted using standard fixings, from above or below the headshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 10 Hz - 50 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: within 1 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation: better than 25 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 2.5 mV ± 1 dB, 1 kHz @ 5 cm\/sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatic Compliance: 25 mm\/N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrackability: 85 um (@ 315 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent tip mass: 0.4 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical Tracking Angle: 22 °\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Radius: Gyger II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Type: Non-Replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad Resistance: 47 kâ¦\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad Capacitance: 100 - 500 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Inductanc: 0.13 mH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Resistance: 35 â¦\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Mass: 5.2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Mass (inc. fixings): 6.6 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing Centre0.5 \": (12.7 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying Weight: 1.5 - 2.0 g (1.75 g nom.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Goldring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938582298890,"sku":"GOLDRING-7857","price":549.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/goldring-eroica-hx-cartridge-1-38440-p.jpg?v=1760363405","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/gold-eroica-hx","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
