Upgrading a vinyl setup with the Grado Green MM Phono Cartridge brings fresh clarity and warm musical detail to every record in a collection. Belonging to the respected range of Grado Phono Cartridges and specialised Phono Cartridges-MM designs, this MM Phono Cartridge uses a reconfigured coil layout that reduces moving mass by 17 per cent. A lower moving mass allows the diamond stylus to track delicate groove movements with enhanced precision, delivering clear high frequencies and minimal distortion during complex audio passages.
Refined Cantilever and Stylus Design:
Inside the cartridge structure, a four-piece Optimised Transmission Line (OTL) cantilever operates alongside high-purity oxygen-free copper wire coils. Mounted on a solid brass bushing, the elliptical diamond stylus maintains firm contact with vinyl record grooves. Every unit is crafted to rigorous instock specification thresholds to maintain a balanced frequency response across various musical genres, ensuring exceptional channel separation and vivid acoustic imaging.
