Grado Prestige Gold 3


Hi all, I have a thirty five year old Linn Axis with Basic Plus tone arm in a second system that I love and I find hard to beat unless I spend $2500-3000. I am currently running an Ortofon Om30 but would like to try something new under $250-300. A friend recommended the Grado Prestige Gold 3. Anybody have any thoughts regarding this cartridge with the Basic Plus tone arm? Any other recommendations? Anyone think it’s worth spending a little more (not too much more) on something else or moving to an MC cartridge?

The effective mass of your arm is said to be 10g, which is probably a bit low to satisfy those who believe in calculations. Then again, my SME Series V is said to be too light for the Deccas, and it plainly works fine!
