ETHOS by Goldring This premiere moving-coil cartridge has a generous 0.5mV output making it easy to mate with any MC phono stage. The aircraft aluminum body is tapped for screw-only mounting. Ethos is dead easy to align, lock-in, and enjoy. Line-Contact Stylus The line-contact diamond profile provides a large contact area with the groove wall, improving the retrieval of high-frequency detail and reducing groove wear.
