About the OM20
The Grado OM20 P-mount cartridge is part of Grado's Prestige series, designed specifically for P-mount (T4P) tonearms commonly found on linear tracking and budget turntables. It features a moving iron design with a nude elliptical stylus, providing high compliance and excellent tracking ability in the recommended tracking force range of approximately 1.25 to 1.75 grams, typically set at 1.5 grams. The cartridge is praised for its clean, precise sound with good bass extension and treble balance, making it a popular upgrade choice for P-mount turntables such as the Technics SL-10. The OM20 is compatible with the standard OM body and the Super OM body, though the standard OM body is preferred for a more balanced sound. Its design allows easy stylus upgrades and replacements, enhancing versatility and longevity. The cartridge is noted for its ease of installation due to the P-mount plug-and-play format, which uses a single fixing screw through the side. The OM20 P-mount is appreciated for combining the convenience of P-mount installation with the sound quality and engineering excellence of Grado's OM series.
