The Prestige Series of 78-RPM cartridges are designed for high output and excellent stability under even severe use. Each cartridge can be used for either archival or casual play without concern for undue wear on the record. All Grado 78 cartridges have a considerable reduction in tip mass resulting in extended frequency response while tracking forces can range from 2-5 grams. The experts acclaim these cartridges as virtually the finest 78-rpm cartridges in the world.
The Prestige model 78E uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished, conical/spherical 3 mil. diamond mounted in a brass bushing.

Customer Reviews
A great sounding cartridge that exceeds my expectations, I'm very happy with the sound of this mono 78 RPM phono cartridge. It was installed on my old ELAC Miracord 40 A for the purpose of playing 78's only. I was using a stereo cartridge before to play all records on this table. This cartridge tracks so well, that is all that I will use this turntable for from now on.
Did not know 78's could sound this good, had some jazz 78's that looked pristine, Billie Holiday never sounded so good. Would recommend the Grado Prestige 78RPM Phono Cartridge Model 78E to anyone that wants to hear the music done right.
this elliptical cartridge does an excellent job if you are tape recording important, old 78 sets that never made it to subsequent LP reissues. A lot of work but worth the effort.
