GRADOPrestige Green3 Phono Cartridge – Moving Iron Stereo Cartridge for Turntables – Hand-Assembled in Brooklyn – Elliptical Diamond Stylus for High-Fidelity Analog Sound

Easy to install . Great sound. Worth the price

Sound is great, setup was easy.Enjoy playing vinyl records that were previously packed away.

I changed the cartridge and not just the stylus.......records were not playing right and they are in very good condition. Now the sound quality is so much improved. I'm not crazy about how the little slip of paper explains replacing the stylus.....It's supposed to slide in but I couldn't get it to slide and finally when it did it wasn't in place and I had to fix it myself......the little wires are tricky with the little diagram they give but that apparently went well on the first try. Now my records are playable again .....I never got rid of them and I enjoy the sound.

Nice Cartridge, sounds good, easy install.

First thing, if your replacing a Grado Blue etc. This green is a big step up. First it's louder, treble is brighter but not sibilant. Weighs the same so no need to rebalance.

Received in good time and intact.

The media could not be loaded. I got back into vinyl a little over a year ago with a vintage 1977 Hitachi HT-460 direct drive turntable that I had rebuilt. Not knowing how much I wanted to invest in a stylus/cartridge, I went at the time with the Audio Technica AT3600L, which for an entry level stylus is quite underrated. But the time came to replace it, and oh boy is the mid-range stylus market ever spoiled for choice.I finally decided screw it, and I went with this Grado Prestige Green, giving the first test drive to the newly unsealed Mezzanine by Massive Attack.Let me tell you, upgrading your stylus will make a massive difference to the sound profile of your vinyl. Smoother sound, less popping, increased dynamic range. This cartridge is actually a little quieter than the AT3600L, but that's what the volume knob is for.I get it, this isn't a high-end audiophile stylus. But the jump from my previous stylus cannot be overstated.

Nach dem einfachen Einbau an meinem alten Thorens TD145 hab ich wieder richtig Spaß meine alten Vinyl aufzulegen. Das Klangerlebnis ist gelungen analog. Ich habe Platten aufgelegt, von denen ich auch CDs habe. Die CDs klingen lauter und heller. Aber die Vinyls klingen authentischer. Die ganze Bühne ist wie bei einem Livekonzert. Da merke ich erst mal, ein meine Ohren sich an den hellen Klang der CDs gewöhnt haben, was mir inzwischen fast schon harsch vorkommt.

Sounds fantastic!

Sehr guter Tonabnehmer. Schon ohne einspielen, satte Bässe und klare Mitten. Empfehlenswert
