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 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.
The GG3 is smooth, solid and consistent from LP to LP. I am hearing things that I hadn't previously heard and things I've previously heard, I hear them better. I'm using the GG3 with the iFi Zen Phono Pre-amp and the Music Hall 1.5 turntable.
It’s such a huge improvement over my old cartridge. And fast shipping. A++++
I don't have much experience with record players... or just audio equipment in general, but I do know that this cartridge sounds amazing. It has a very warm and detailed sound, so I'll more than likely stick with Grado in the future since I'm overall very happy with this product.
