About the Epoch4
The Grado Labs Epoch4 is the latest flagship cartridge in the Lineage Series, hand-built with sapphire cantilever, diamond stylus, 24-karat gold wire coils, Swiss-machined magnetic parts, and cocobolo wood housing. It offers exceptional reproduction of vocals and instruments with superlative tonal balance, dynamics, imaging, and realism. Final assembly is performed by John Grado. Building on the Epoch3 design, it maintains the patented Flux-Bridger generator for superior frequency balance and the lowest effective moving mass. Recommended for use with high-gain phono stages due to its low output.
