Goldy Cartridge

The Goldy Dual Moving-Coil Phono Cartridge plays with high separation, wide responsiveness, enticing Presence, and a natural midrange.

The Goldy is another VPI - Audio Technica partnership product. Using the award winning AT-OC9 series as a base with VPI’s voicing, the Goldy is a line contact stylus on a boron cantilever. The Goldy has the same internal and dampening modifications as the Shyla cartridge in addition to other material changes as well.

Cartridges enjoy a one-year warranty, excluding accidental damage.
