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.

Have an old Technics SL-5. Bought a $40 Audio Technica cartridge, not good sound at all. This green Grado is a huge improvement and should get better with more plays. A good $125 spent to save a decent turntable
Just received my order for a standard mount Prestige Green 3. Wow, love the new mounting bracket!!! I wasn’t expecting that. I had the new Green 3 installed and listening to music in minutes. No more fumbling with nuts and bolts!!! Thank you Grado!!!
In an age when so many established firms are disappearing, it is comforting to see GRADO remains in existence and continues to produce quality products. I have just acquired my third P-Mount cartridge from GRADO over the years and have never been disappointed.
Simply amazing. I changed out my old ADC P-Mount cartridge for a new Grado Prestige green. The new cartridge upgraded the performance of my system to a new level. If six stars were available, I would have noted it.
Thank you Grado
Richard was very helpful in identifying my old cartridge as a P-mount...which I learned means you can just plug it in. The installation was really easy. I just loosened a small screw on the side, unplugged the old cartridge, plugged in the new one, and tightened the screw. It was altready perectly alligned
