About the TLZ
The Grado TLZ Cartridge is a moving iron phono cartridge designed for audiophiles seeking high fidelity and musicality. It is compatible with the Grado Prestige series and is considered an upgrade from the MCZ stylus. The TLZ stylus features a diamond, twin tip (elliptical) design, offering low surface noise and impressive extension in both lows and highs, with a sound signature that is exciting and engaging, particularly for rock and jazz. The cartridge is user-replaceable and is packaged in Grado's signature small plastic box with 'TLZ' handwritten on the back.
