The story
In 1906, the Scharf brothers began manufacturing in Berlin, Germany, and released their own phonograph, the Juwel Electro Soundbox, which had a Gold Ring logo to denote quality, in 1926. Goldring moved to Britain in 1933. In 1954, the company released 500 British-made magnetic cartridges; the 600 and 700 models followed in 1958 and 1960, respectively. The 1970s saw the release of the Lenco GL85 turntable (1973) and of the 900SE II and 900/E cartridges. In 1987, Goldring was sold to Veda-UK (Armour Home Electronics). Between 1987 and 1990, four more cartridges—Eroica, Epic II, Excel, and Elite—were released. In 2004, the Goldring released its digital GR1 turntable, followed by the GR2 turntable in 2005. In 2006, the company launched its critically acclaimed DR50, DR100, and DR150 headphones.
