Direct from 4ourears - @RichGrado ships super fast! Sorry to hear about the projectilesWhat's the quickest way to get a Grado Blue3 stylus to my door? I have my first casually of moving the kid's toys downstairs in the same room as my turntable
At least I'll appreciate my upgrade to the Blue after going back to the Black for a couple of days.Direct from 4ourears - @RichGrado ships super fast! Sorry to hear about the projectiles
After more then a week of using the Grado Gold3 on my turntable I have to say that I really love it's sound. However..... I had the opportunity a few times this week to crank up the volume with the whole family being out the house despite lockdown, and then the humming gets to a point where it really starts to get annoying on quieter records
And just today a friend spoke of a hifi and audio dealer friend of his, who is selling 2 demonstration devices in 2-3 weeks, both without cartridge, basically new, for a real good price to friends only... a Project Debut Carbon Evo and a Rega Planar 3 newest model.
Now I'm even at the point of thinking to exchange my turntable while keeping the Grado using parts of the christmas bonus. Are those 2 models known to hum with the Grado Gold2/3 ?
If I had to bet, I’d bet the new Pro-Ject will work.

I should have thought of that before they shipped my order.I would @RichGrado or send them an email and see if they can help you out
Ouch! It’s not supposed to hum on any of the carbons according to the spreadsheet. The evo is too new to have been tested yet. The spreadsheet is basically users keeping it updated based on their own tests! In my experience it doesn’t hum with my expirit sb. Grado carts don’t work with rega turntables I’m afraid
There's a definite improvement in the Gold3, so if you're staying with the Grado it's $260 for a v3 or $150 on a 8MZ stylus....which is also an improvement

I had the Gold2 and the 8mz stylus is a big upgrade. That said the heads here prefer the Gold3 to the Gold2 so it should be a jump either way! Personally, in your place, I’d be tempted to get the Gold3 this year and upgrade its stylus to the 8mz next year. Or just Opus3 it
I would say that's petty spot on and brings up what many of us say concerning the other components in the system. Well written
This was such an excellent read, thanks for sharing! Super helpful that the reviewer went in depth on where they stand with a 2M Blue and the AT 95 series. Very informative, and now I’m even more interested in an Opus3!
