GRADO SONATA 1.5V (THOUGHTS/SUGESTIONS)

Just bought Planar - 25 with out cartdtridge and was thinking about the GRADO SONATA($500.) but since I can't audition everything I would like some thoughts or sugestions on cartridges in the under $800. range?

Theyboth are as neutral as youll get for the price or even higher.The bass on these beats all similar priced ones.Even when I was shopping around mal order I was told these Grados are great rock P.U.s You want a nice classical or acoustic cart? get a Benz gold.r if its rock GO GRADO!!

Please tell how it was annoying.Alan,do a search of Grado and read a couple posts about the Grado "hum" This has been covered before and all I will say is it is not an issue.With a 1.5mv output it wont exist.If your willing to spend a bit more the Grado Master is killer! They list for $800 but I'm sure you could talk Audio Advisor out of one for $700.Try Sound City also,when I got my Grado they beat Audio Advisors lowest price by 10% Be sure to ask for Joe,he is the only decent sales associate there.
