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 9049533570 endet am 01.10.2026 um 21:48 Uhr.
At €875, this sits just above the €866 median and only a touch over the €872 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a bargain. It is not overpriced, but it is close enough to the market that condition and completeness should do the heavy lifting.
The ETHOS is well regarded for a refined, open presentation with real detail and a disciplined top end, so a clean example can be a very worthwhile step-up cartridge. If the stylus is healthy, mounting hardware is included, and the seller can confirm low hours or careful use, this is the kind of buy that makes sense at this level.
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.
