The newly redesigned Blue3 and Red3 have had their coil design reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of their generating system has been reduced by 17%. The Blue2 and Red2 models use a four piece OTL cantilever technology, standard oxygen free wire in the coils and Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Red1 model is selected from the Blue2 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 10% of the production run will meet these standards and become Red3 models.This item is available for local pickup.(Details) Authorized dealer. Sold with full warranty.
You Deserve Prestige: The Prestige Series by Grado is designed for high output and excellent stability under severe use. A considerable tip mass reduction results in a frequency response to 50 kHz and beyond and tracking forces from 1-2 grams. Acclaimed by experts as virtually the finest pickups in the world at their price. Prestige models available in both 1/2" mount and P-mount. All styli in the Prestige series are user replaceable.
Sounding Better Than Ever: The Grado Prestige3 series of cartridges features a resonance-optimized chassis and higher-purity copper wiring in the coils. Sonically, they exhibit better low-level resolution and heightened overall transparency - a noticeable improvement over their predecessors - while maintaining the signature Grado sound that we've all come to adore. Furthermore, on the Prestige2 series, Grado purports "excellent tonal balance, dynamics and realism for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and acoustic instruments."
