Angeboten wird „Ethos MC System Referenz in seiner Klasse Goldring Fachhandel“ von Goldring als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer MC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4409445011 endet am 28.09.2026 um 10:37 Uhr.
At €875, this sits essentially on top of the recent used-market median of €872 and just above the €867 25th percentile, so it reads as a fair ask rather than a bargain. It is also still comfortably inside the normal spread, well short of the €884 75th percentile, which means the price is not ambitious for the market.
That makes it a sensible buy if the cartridge is genuinely in good shape and the stylus hours are sensible, because Goldring’s Ethos is well regarded for detail, drive, and a lively, resolving presentation. The upside here is straightforward: if the suspension is healthy and the stylus is clean, you get a high-level moving-coil cartridge without paying top-of-band money. At this price, I would mainly confirm provenance, stylus wear, and whether the original packaging or accessories are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Goldring traces its origins to 1906 in Berlin, where Czech-born brothers Heinrich and Julius Scharf launched Gebrüder Scharf, crafting gramophone needles, clockwork motors, and innovative sound boxes—the acoustic precursors to modern magnetic pickups. The brand's iconic Gold Ring trademark debuted with the 1926 Juwel Electro sound box, optimized for electrical recordings. Relocating to Britain in 1933 amid geopolitical shifts, it formalized as Goldring Manufacturing (GB) Ltd in 1953 at Leytonstone, East London, where it pioneered low-mass hi-fi cartridges like the acclaimed No. 500 with its turnover 33/45 rpm stylus, earning BBC endorsement and global stature.
Renowned primarily for hand-made turntable cartridges—especially moving magnet and moving coil models—Goldring has expanded into turntables, phonograph components, headphones such as the 2006 DR series, and vinyl care accessories. While its heritage lies in gramophone-era innovations, the UK-based marque maintains a focused portfolio eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, prioritizing precision analog playback for vinyl enthusiasts.
Positioned as a mid-tier mainstay in British hi-fi, Goldring commands respect for over a century of reliable, innovative engineering that bridges vintage heritage with contemporary vinyl revival. No longer a high-end boutique or collector's curiosity, it delivers accessible excellence, holding the title of the UK's top cartridge brand through consistent quality and enduring appeal to discerning analog buyers.
