Prodotti economici ma che con una buona testina possono permettere un ottimo ascolto dei vecchi dischi(meglio di molti lettori cd dal costo triplo). 
 
 
Eccezionale: GOLDRING GR1:    390 euro: inclusa Elektra (75 euro) e braccio Rega(255 euro)
 
 
Un braccio che si trova in giradischi da 1500 euro e che puo' supportare adeguatamente anche la Goldring 1012! 
 
 
The Elektra is a low-cost moving magnet phono cartridge which incorporates several audiophile features. Tracking ability is excellent and this cartridge uses an Elliptical stylus tip. The low-mass cantilever assembly has a surprisingly wide ranging compatibility with the best tonearms and turntables available. 
The full size, elegantly designed, Goldring GR1 is a two-speed belt-drive turntable, which boasts an astonishingly good tonearm and comes complete with a ready-fitted Goldring Elektra cartridge.

 
Reviews: 
 
Jan 2004"...it was amazingly musical. It has real zest and gusto. There's a tiny bit of wobble on pianos, but this is rarely obvious...while the wonderfully direct sound is. It's remarkable for the money..."
 
Feb 2004"...This turntable is cracking value...Goldring is back in business with a product to challenge the best in this price range..."
 
April 2004"...This deck offers a great entry level purchase with sound quality to challenge CD players costing upwards of £200"
 
March 2004"...The GR1 should provide a strong challenge to Pro-Jects domination of this sector...in fact, it's an investment in your record collections future..."
 
March 2004"...better than DJ decks at twice the price, it is deliciously detailed and open...The Goldring is good enough to put any digital devotee in a spin"
 
April 2004"...The GR1 is unusually calm and relaxed for a budget deck, with a decent timing and solidity that belies it's price point...a great budget buy..."

5 star review and 'Recommended Buy'
The OEM Rega P2 comes fitted with a Goldring Elektra (retail $100) cartridge and modified RB250 tonearm ($300).  
The GR1 received the coveted 5 star ***** rating in What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision, February 2004. The reviewer notes, "Good sonic weight, timing, rich delivery, value for money."  
The Goldring GR1 Turntable boasts some unusual refinements, including the employment of a high-quality tonearm, usually found on decks costing twice as much.  
The factory-fitted Goldring Elektra cartridge is another bonus, delivering a sweet and open sound from your favourite records.
