Gold 3 Prestige Cartridge

Grado Gold Cartridge The Best of the Prestige Series Just a step below the Reference Platinum, the Grado Gold uses four piece OTL cantilever technology, ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils and Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The result? Superior resolution. Rated a best buy by Hi-Fi Choice, the Grado Gold model is selected from the Silver production run and meet higher test specifications. Approximately 5% of the production run meet these standards and become Gold models. "The Prestige Gold's sound was readily identifiable, but after just a few seconds it didn't matter much, so engaging were the results." -- Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound "It was lively and detailed but never edgy on vocal sibilants, and didn't over-emphasis leading edges on acoustic guitar...Beefheart's Clear Spot, the undoing of many an under-performing cartridges, didn't faze the Grado...It's a definite Best Buy!" -- Alan Sircom, HiF
