I can't remember the specific models, but I derived years of pleasure out of my two Grados. They tracked well. They delivered big juicy sound. Imaging, if not laser precise, felt natural and a good deal like what real life sound is really like. My two Shure V15 carts, meantime, came off as a trifle cool and analytical, but I never found a single slice of vinyl that gave them any trouble. Old beaten up 45 singles? Not a problem.
