The Green3 uses a three piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.
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 Green3 is hand assembled by Grado's team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. The 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 Green3 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 Green3 to have one of the lowest effective moving mass generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.

I appreciated how your site helped me find the updated replacement for my old "Black" cartridge! And the item arrived in a timely way, thanks.
clean and bright sound
The cartridge was easy to install. It has very good sound, but I'm still having some sibilance on some of my records. But this could be due to the way the music was recored on these particular albums. I'm quite satisfied with the Grado Green 3.
I bought this to replace my Shure M97xe that I can no longer get a new stylus for. Back then I did consider a Grado, I decided to circle back and try that this time. So far I'm rather pleased with it, it was easy to setup and seems to sound quite well. Happy to support a company still manufacturing here.
I'm a firm believer in, "less turntable, more cartridge". The Green3 transformed a Yamaha 300TT U turntable into a star performer. Sure it had a lot to do with the speakers too but the sound quality was clear and smooth and these ears wouldn't want any other cartridge.
