D42 Stylus for Goldring G1042 / G1040

Goldring D42 is the replacement stylus for the Goldring G 1042 cartridge. It has the Gyger S with a 6 µm radius nude diamond stylus. This is a revolutionary line-contact stylus type which is shaped to more closely resemble the record cutting head than any previous design.

Mid-range tonality of Goldring G-1042 is incredibly accurate and precise with no high frequency sibilance. Tracking ability is fantastic and the extended sidewall contact of the Gyger-S diamond also gives the Goldring 1042 unsurpassed resolution of the fine groove modulations. G1042 has the detailed and dynamic house-sound of Goldring combined with an exceptionally detailed, smooth musicality.

The Goldring 1000 series has an almost legendary status for delivering some of the best sounds produced by moving magnet cartridges.

All styli in the Goldring 1000 series are interchangeable, therefore you can upgrade your Goldring 1012 and 1006 with this stylus.

We recommend 20 hours of break-in.
