Seller's Description

Goldring 1022GX Phono Cartridge (MM) Goldring 1022GX cartridge with good stylus. Came with a turntable I bought so can’t say how many hours on the stylus but it still looks and sounded great before I swapped it out. Priced accordingly.    Happy to post.  Condition: Very Good Payment Method: Cash, PayID, PayPal Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Crampoli 0 Comments   AUD $195 Date: July 25, 2025Jul 25

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Against your local AUD comps, A$195 is a strong buy: it sits well below the A$239 25th percentile and far under the A$279 median, so this is priced like a bargain rather than a merely decent deal. For a Goldring 1022GX in very good condition, that gap is meaningful.

That model is well regarded for delivering a lively, detailed MM presentation with good tracking and a genuinely hi-fi sound, so the value case is strong if the stylus is healthy and the table is complete. At this price, the main upside is simply getting a respected cartridge setup for much less than the going used norm; just confirm stylus life, cantilever alignment, and that any mounting hardware or original accessories are included.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Goldring

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.
