British cartridge specialist Goldring has announced the launch of the GR3, its first new turntable in more than 20 years. Pre-fitted with a Goldring E3 (HFC 428) moving-magnet cart and a built-in preamplifier, the plug-and-play GR3 features a phenolic resin platter designed to maximise the flywheel effect – the platter ensuring consistent rotational speed for enhanced audio fidelity. There’s a choice of either a 1.5m phono-to-phono or 3m phono-to-3.5mm cable provided from QED and the turntable comes with a high-gloss black plinth and perspex dust cover.

Regarding the choice of cartridge, Goldring explains: “The E3 arrives pre-fitted and pre-adjusted to the GR3 tonearm. It features a stiff and lightweight aluminium cantilever offering accurate tracking, more detail and reduced distortion, while a ‘dual magnet’ generator ensures authentic reproduction, better channel separation and a more musical soundstage.” The GR3 measures 450 x 120 x 360mm (WxHxD) and weighs 5.5kg.

Available to buy now for £700, you can find out more about the Goldring GR3 here.
