This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.
Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.
The Gold3 are all hand assembled by our team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. With the recent development of the highly received Lineage Series of cartridges, we were able to have a trickle down of technology and bring some new techniques to the Gold3.
This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. Our coil winding techniques, using ultra high purity copper wire which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge. This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.
As in all Grado phono cartridges the Gold3 is powered by a twin magnet system that optimizes the balance between stereo channels. All internal magnetic circuit parts are held to extremely high tolerances creating the desired stereo imaging. Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger design allows the Gold3 to have one of the lowest effective moving mass generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.

I upgraded from a Grado Black to the Gold3, and the difference in sound was instantly noticed.. There is much more depth and clarity, and I like the heavier weight. Can’t wait for this cartridge to break in!
This is a P type T4P Cartridge. It is so much better than my original cartridge. The sound stage is so nice. Loving it.
Изключително разочарование,само след 5 месеца слушане и по - малко от 80 часа, я свалих и внимателно прибрах в кутийка заедно с две други дози на сухо в шкафа. Днес изкарвайки да я пробвам с един мой познат ,забелязахме ,че единият канал не работи. Когато свалихме игличката,навсякъде беше раждясала. Другите две дози са си в пефектно здраве,което ме навява на мисълта ,че тази доза е всичко друго,но не и добър избор

I didn't realize what a difference a new Grado stylus makes! It had been 30 months since I replaced mine and I probably average playing a vinyl record every day.
Great sound again!
