Anyone using Goldring Carts?


My music hall 5.1 came factory installed with a Goldring 2200 and as a newbie, I automatically assumed that I needed to upgrade, first I tried Ortofon, then others but I keep coming back to the Goldring. My question is, even though Goldring may not be the "cool" cart to have, it sounds really resolved, full of detail, rich, articulate, and the only cartridge so far with "tunefull" bass. That being said, the only one I have not tried is Grado Prestige/Sonata. Has anyone else had this experience or can give some advise on what a resonable upgrad would be? Thanks!

I have an Audio Note IQ2 which is a modified Goldring and it sounds terrific, easily in the league of the Grado Sonata I used to own and probably better in terms of being neutral and inner detail.
I own the Transrotor Merlo Reference, a modified Goldring by Transrotor. Was my primary for years until I bought the Benz LP. The Goldring does not do anything wrong and will bring you many hours of listening pleasure. I guess it does not bet much attention as it is not "lobbied" that much by the few distributors.
