About the Gold3
The Grado Gold3 P-mount T4P phono cartridge is part of Grado's Prestige series, designed for high output and excellent stability under demanding conditions. It uses Grado's patented Optimized Transmission Line (OTL) technology, which reduces unwanted resonances and distortion, resulting in quieter records, improved soundstage height, width, and depth, and more detail. The cartridge features a four-piece OTL cantilever with a Grado-specific elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a brass bushing, a twin magnet system for optimized stereo balance, and is hand-assembled in Brooklyn by experienced builders. It offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, making it suitable for detailed reproduction of vocals and instruments.
