Four Generations of Brooklyn Soul

Since 1953, the Grado family has hand-built cartridges in their Brooklyn townhouse. While giants moved production overseas, John Grado still inspects every Gold3 personally. This is the cartridge that recording engineers at Blue Note Studios grew up with - warm, musical, and utterly faithful to the groove.

Why 20 Hours Makes This a Steal

With only 20 hours on the diamond, this Gold3 has 980+ hours of life remaining. The cartridge is perfectly broken in - past the stiff first hours but nowhere near wear. You're getting 95% of a new cartridge's lifespan at demo pricing.

"The Sweet Spot of the Prestige Line"

Stereophile noted: "The Gold3 offers 90% of the Platinum's performance at half the price - remarkable warmth without sacrificing detail."

The Numbers That Matter

Output: 5.0mV (high output, no preamp needed)
Frequency response: 10Hz - 55kHz
Channel separation: 30dB
Tracking force: 1.5g
Stylus: Elliptical diamond
P-Mount compliance: Plug-and-play installation

Everything You Get

• Grado Gold3 cartridge with <20 hours use
