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 6205974582 endet am 04.08.2026 um 11:13 Uhr.
Goldring’s ETHOS sits in the “serious cartridge” tier, so this asking price is easy to benchmark against your comp set. At €875, it lands just under the €880 25th percentile and below the €884 median, which makes it a strong deal rather than merely fair. It is also only a hair above the low end of the recent spread, so there is no need to overthink it if the item is genuinely as described.
The appeal here is straightforward: the ETHOS is known for a refined, resolving presentation with excellent tracking and a very “finished” sound, the sort of cartridge that can lift a good front end into clearly better territory. At this price, a clean example is a genuine buy opportunity, especially if it has low hours and comes with the original packaging, stylus guard, or proof of careful ownership. The only real checks are the usual cartridge ones: stylus condition, cantilever alignment, and whether the seller can document usage.
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.
