The Grado Master3 High Output Phono Cartridge is engineered for audiophiles who demand excellence. Utilizing a five-piece OTL cantilever technology, it achieves a remarkable 5% reduction in tip mass compared to the Platinum3 and Sonata3 models. The coils are wound with ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen-free copper wire, ensuring optimal signal clarity.
Equipped with Grado’s specially designed nude elliptical diamond, this cartridge provides an unparalleled listening experience. Each unit is meticulously calibrated, employing advanced coil winding techniques and a unique two-step shielding process. This combination guarantees a precise unison between the four coils and an unobstructed signal path, minimizing mechanical noise while enhancing tracking.
Experience extreme clarity across the full frequency range without any stridency or harshness. The Master3’s housing is crafted from Australian Jarrah, known for its exceptional ability to deliver surgically precise audio detail while retaining depth. Through specialized thermal aging processes, the housing is designed to effectively dampen and control resonant frequencies, resulting in a superior vinyl playback experience.
