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.
