About the Timbre Platinum 3
The Platinum 3 is part of Grado's Timbre Series of moving‑iron phono cartridges and is available in high, low, and mono output versions. It uses an aluminum cantilever with an elliptical diamond stylus, a body machined from Australian Jarrah wood, and ultrahigh‑purity long‑crystal (UHPLC) oxygen‑free copper wire in its coils to deliver precise, detailed sound with excellent clarity and depth. The Jarrah wood body helps control resonant frequencies and contributes to the cartridge's rich, natural tonal character.
