Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge?


Opinions please.

The Ethos is good value for money. It has a good balance of resolving details but still being musical. I use it to listen to Classical Violin Music and Mainstream. It will not have the resolving power, dynamics  and depth of stage like a Lyra Kleos and will not be as expressive as a Benz Gullwing in Jazz. 
If I only had 1 Cartridge to choose from the Ethos would be high on the list because its a very good allrounder.

I have had an Ethos for a couple of years. It is amazing, with heaps of detail yet smooth, warm sound. Love it.

Thank you @jorgjean  and @allenric .  I had a Goldring made, Roksan badged cartridge about a decade ago on a Roksan Radius turntable that I loved.  It punched about its price class. 

I've been running in the Ethos now.  It's likely too early to give an accurate assessment of the cartridge, but here's what I noticed. 

--Setup was a breeze. The body and the cantilever provide easy viewing for setup. They aren't obscured. 

--Packaging was first rate. As good or better than the last few carts I bought--AudioTechnica ART9, Benz LPS, Kiseki Purpleheart. 

--Sound is particularly big, bold and lively. Bass, midrange and treble are pretty equally distributed.  

--I would like it to open up with a bit more air on top. I have only a few hours on it so we shall see.
