Description from the seller
From my personal collection I offer two splendid Grado phono cartridges with their respective styluses.
Used very little, like new, with their box and accessories. You will receive everything shown in the photos.
- The Grado Prestige Gold 3 is the flagship model of Grado Labs' Prestige series, renowned for its warm, natural, and musical sound.
It is a Moving Iron (MI) cartridge assembled by hand in Brooklyn, using the proprietary OTL (Optimized Transmission Line) technology to reduce resonances and improve detail.
Main Features
Manual Selection: Only 5% of Silver3 cartridges produced are promoted to Gold3 based on stricter tolerance tests.
OTL Technology: A four-piece cantilever designed to transfer the signal more purely from the groove.
UHPLC Windings: Uses long-crystal, ultra-high-purity copper for greater sonic transparency.
Elliptical Stylus: Diamond tip mounted on brass bushing, designed to track with precision and low distortion.
- The Grado Prestige Red2 is an Induced Magnet (MI) phono cartridge known for its warm, musical sound, typical of Brooklyn's artisanal tradition.
It is part of Grado's "Series 2", which introduced improvements derived from the high-end Lineage series.
Rigorous Selection: Red2 is manually selected from the Blue2 production.
Only 10% of units meeting the stricter test standards receive the "Red" designation.
OTL Technology: Uses a four-piece cantilever with Optimized Transmission Line technology to minimize internal resonances.
OFC Copper Windings: Wound with oxygen-free, high-purity copper for better signal transmission.
Flux-Bridger Design: Reduces moving mass, ensuring excellent balance across the entire frequency range.
