I went from a high outout Grado Sonata to a low output Statement 1. I use it with an RCM Sensor Prelude. My general impression is that the low output version trades a little drive and "slam" for greater nuance and detail. The HO Sonata had a greater "boogie" factor, the LO Statement is more refined and delicate sounding. Not delicate to a fault, but noticeable. I suspect that impression is subject to change with different phono stages, but it held true with both Sutherland and RCM in my case.
Low and high output Grados differences in detail.
Do the high output Grados have more detail then the low output Grados. I have a Aesthetix Rhea Phono Amp and was wondering if Grado carts would be to "mushy" with the Aesthetix Rhea? All opinions and expert advise is welcome.
