Customer Reviews
Sonata3
I am so enjoying rediscovering my vinyl and how amazing it sounds with my new Sonata3 cartridge, completely different experience! So pleased!
Grade Sonata 3
I received my order and I saw the quality and the care given. IIt was inside a small wooden case cushioned by foam. I had one before and was not disappointed to see that they kept the quality of their product. Looking forward to years of enjoying the music of my time.
The Sonata sounds better than the Platinum3 I used previously, which
makes sense. I was surprised, however, that I find it superior to my Hana ML.
Upgraded from my damaged Platiumum 3 cartridge, and the improvement was immediately noticeable. Great clarity, but warmer. I heard new details in my old records with this cartridge. Thanks Grado for the exchange program, and for a great cartridge!
