The Goldring 1042 will walk all over the Rega Super Elys and any other cartridge in the under $500 category. It's easily one of the best moving magnet cartridges ever made. I have no reason to glorify the Goldring, I'm just extremely impressed with my 1042. It makes a great match with the Rega P3 turntables. In England where it's produced, the Goldring/Rega P3 combos are very popular and rightly so. The Goldrings aren't as popular in North America because of their relative lack of advertising but this doesn't diminish it's excellent sound. Snap one up before Goldring catches on and raises their price : )
