Grado Labs Gold1

Cartridges from the Prestige series - model Gold1 have had their coil design reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of their generating system has been reduced by 17%. The Gold1 models use a four piece OTL cantilever technology, ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils and specially designed elliptical diamond mounted in a brass bushing. The Prestige Series by Grado is designed for high output and excellent stability under severe use. Prestige models available in both 1/2" mount and P-mount. All styli in the Prestige series are user replaceable. The Gold1 model is selected from the Silver1 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 5% of the production run meet these standards and become Gold1 models.
