Here is what Goldring say about the GR3 Turntable

Key Features
- Pre-fitted with a Goldring E3 moving magnet cartridge: This serial award-winning cartridge comes pre-installed and perfectly aligned on the GR3 tonearm, offering a balanced, refined and dynamic sonic performance.
- Built-in phono stage: For maximum convenience, GR3’s integrated pre-amplifier enables effortless connections to any amplifier or powered speaker of choice.
- Phenolic resin platter: Designed to maximise the flywheel effect, the platter ensures consistent rotational speed for enhanced audio fidelity.
- Choice of QED interconnects: Goldring provides a choice of either a 1.5 m phono-to-phono or a 3 m phono-to-3.5 mm cable from QED, one of the most respected names in audio interconnects and cables, ensuring optimal connection and sound quality.

Pre-fitted Goldring E3 moving magnet cartridge
Goldring’s E3 cartridge is considered one of the best performers at its price point – just see the six consecutive What Hi-Fi? best buy awards for proof. Combining plug-and-play simplicity with uncompromised audio performance, 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. Designed and engineered in the UK, micro-adjustments during production ensures a consistent and reassuring performance for the life of the product.
Built-in phono stage
Not every amplifier or powered speaker has the necessary gain and EQ to deal with the signal from a turntable. So, to make life easier, GR3 boasts an integrated phono pre-amplifier in order to do this job. It means this single turntable that can happily connect to any amplifier or powered speaker you decide to use without the need for extra phono amplification or boxes. Combine it easily with Q Acoustics M20 or M40 powered speakers for a user-friendly and musically powerful vinyl system. Phenolic resin platter
The remarkable speed stability of the GR3 is maintained by employing a phenolic resin platter with an enhanced fly-wheel effect. By distributing the majority of its considerable mass at the outside of rotation, inertia is increased and therefore speed variations are suppressed. This gives the GR3 a very good wow and flutter performance which in turn ensures that the fidelity of its musical reproduction remains high.
Choice of QED interconnects
Goldring’s sister company, QED, is one of the most credible and highly regarded manufacturers of analogue and digital interconnects in the world - so choosing either a 1.5 m phono-to-phono or 3 m phono-to-3.5 mm cable to plug GR3 into a compatible amplifier or powered speakers, ensures a stable and robust connection.
Elegant design
To complement the GR3’s class-leading performance, a combination of a stylish high-gloss black plinth, covered by a perspex dust cover delivers a premium and sophisticated design that can match perfectly with any system or fit seamlessly into any interior design space.

About Goldring
Goldring, founded in 1906 by Heinrich and Julius Scharf in Berlin, is a renowned name in audio engineering, known for its high-performance turntable cartridges and accessories.
