    Distorted vocals problem

    Hey everyone, i will start with the off center cantilever, doesn't matter, the diamond tracks the groove, if its off center a little doesn't make a difference, please do not try to move it, you'll end up breaking it. The channel having some static could be an issue with the chassis, I would...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I'm glad you're enjoying the Gold3, we felt the v3 was a nice upgrade to the v2. I got the rest of my equipment in, now I just need cables so I can hook it all up, this lockdown can make things a pain. I added a bunch of Schiit to this system, an Aegir Class A amp, a Freya+ tube preamp and a...

    Hi everyone, I'm around, been busy the last couple weeks. Started a little project setting up a system in my home office since I'm spending so much time here. So far I have a VPI Scout with an Aeon cartridge mounted and ready to go. Unpacked a Parasound JC3+ preamp the other day, didn't hook it...

    We never argue with anyones opinion on sound, we all hear things differently and have different preferences. In our opinion the elliptical is the better option, its a quieter option. The fine/micro diamonds dig deeper into the groove and produce noise. The reviews that have been published so far...

    Sorry, I didn't mention pricing on the other cartridges... Most are staying the same, the Black3 is now $80 and the Green3 is $99. The Opus3 is $275 an the Platinum3 is now $400. Everything else is still the same price, I don't want to bore you all with an entire price list unless you would like...

    Here is a response to a couple things I see. I am still able to ship, I have some product available, but it is limited with whats going on. The new Opus3 has a US price of $275. There is no longer a Statement and Reference Series, I noticed a comment about a Statement Sonata3. The Statement and...

    I would like to share some of the changes happening in the Grado cartridge line. The v3 cartridges will be formally announced in the coming days, most of you might know that we have been shipping them for quite a while. The v3 cartridges take advantage of an improved process of isolating the...

    Sorry but I can’t respond on what we’re working on or what’s coming in the future, partly because we always have a bunch of things being considered, but we never know what will pan out.

    That’s something you need to answer. Sounds like your Black1 is working fine, so you don’t “need” to upgrade. If you “want” to upgrade that is a whole different story. The Red3 will definitely perform better than the Black1

    I'm going to give a bunch of responses in one post... There are production differences in the chassis between the series. We don't like telling you what you will hear but by improving the coil isolation we feel the v3 cartridge will improve the detail and clarity you achieve. Of course...
