The E3 cartridge, representing the top of the range features the same aluminium cantilever as the E2, but benefits from a superior, bonded, super-elliptical (0.3 x 0.7 mil) stylus. This gives it better high frequency detail retrieval over ordinary elliptical (0.4 x 0.7 mil) or spherical (0.6 mil) types due to its smaller front-to-back radius. The main effect is the reduction of sibilance, especially in high level vocal recordings Goldring E3 Cartridge Technical data Colour: Violet Cantilever: Aluminium Stylus profile: Elliptical Stylus radius: 0.3 x 0.7 mil Frequency range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz Channel balance: 1.5 dB at 1 kHz Channel separation: >20 dB at 1 kHz Sensitivity: 3.5 mV (1 kHz @ 5 cm/sec) Static compliance: 20 mm/N Vertical tracking angle: 20° Load resistance: 47 kΩ Load capacitance: 100 – 200 pF Internal inductance: 400 mH Internal resistance: 410 Ω Cartridge mass: 6.9 g Fixing centres: 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Playing weight: 1.5 g – 2.5 g (2.0 g recommended) “
