The Green3 uses a three piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.

Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. 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 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.

First time Grado purchase

I upgraded from an AT81CP to the Grado Green3 P mount for my JVC AL FQ5 turntable from the mid 80s. The Grado Green3 is a huge upgrade! I get a much clearer sound and no more humming noise with increased volume. I’m very pleased with my the Green3. I highly recommend. Also the customer service is great at responding to questions.

Great sound and easy to install

Needed a replacement for an old technics turntable. This one was easy to replace and great sound for the value!

Not crazy of how the stylus protector is applied.

I am trying to apply the Green3 to a Dual turntable and subsequently understand the moving iron design tends to hum with the Dual turntable architecture.

Still trying to work out the difficulties.
