Frequently Asked Questions - E1 Goldring
How do I set up the Goldring E1 turntable?
Place the turntable on a level, stable surface. Install the belt around the platter and motor pulley, then fit the platter. Attach the counterweight to the tonearm and adjust the tracking force using the dial. Set anti-skating accordingly. Connect the RCA cables to your amplifier or phono preamp.
What cartridge is pre-installed on the E1?
The Goldring E1 typically comes with a Goldring G1010 moving magnet cartridge, which features a diamond elliptical stylus for good sound quality.
How do I replace the stylus on the Goldring E1?
To replace the stylus, gently pull the old stylus forward and out of the cartridge body. Align the new stylus with the slot and push it in until it clicks. Ensure it is fully seated before use.
Can I connect the Goldring E1 directly to my speakers?
No, the turntable outputs a phono-level signal that requires a phono preamp or a receiver with a phono input. If your amplifier does not have one, use an external phono preamp.
How do I adjust the tracking force?
First, balance the tonearm by rotating the counterweight until the tonearm floats horizontally. Then, turn the tracking force dial (on the counterweight) to the recommended weight (e.g., 2.0g) for your cartridge.
Why does my turntable sound distorted?
Check that the tracking force is correct, the stylus is clean, and the cartridge is properly aligned. Also ensure the turntable is level and the belt is not slipping. Distortion may also occur if the stylus is worn.
How do I clean the stylus?
Use a soft, dry stylus brush to gently sweep from back to front (away from the cantilever). For stubborn dirt, use a stylus cleaning gel or fluid. Never use alcohol as it can damage the suspension.
What is the recommended anti-skating setting?
Set anti-skating to the same value as the tracking force (e.g., 2.0g). This helps to equalize the force on the groove walls and reduces distortion.
How do I switch between 33 and 45 RPM?
Move the lever or switch on the turntable's top plate to the desired speed. For the E1, there is usually a 33/45 selector near the motor pulley. Ensure the belt is on the correct step of the pulley.
What maintenance does the Goldring E1 require?
Periodically clean the stylus and platter. Every 12 months, apply a drop of light oil to the motor bearing spindle. Keep the belt free of oil and replace it if it becomes stretched or slippery.
