Broke before I could use it.

I will return it due to broken stylus when stylus protector was removed. I love this cartridge but can't use it.

Hello Thomas, I'm sorry that the stylus broke while you were removing the stylus guard. We would be willing to try and work with you on getting you another cartridge. We feel its a little unfair to rate the product as 1 star because of this. Please consider how you would like to proceed. Email me directly at rgrado@gradolabs.com if you would like to get the cartridge replaced.

Pleasantly Pleased

Have been using Grado for ever and this recent upgrade to the Platinum 3 was worth every penny! The creation of sound with this is wonderful!

Pure stereo pickup

We finally found an audio expert who was able to put our 26 year-old Rega Planar 3 back in service after movers destroyed the original Grado pickup through careless packing along with failure to secure the tonearm. The new Grado Platinum pickup sounds absolutely fantastic.
