MC or MM?

Some more info for you FWIW:

Actually, the Grados are Moving Iron (MI) - a variation on the MM theme. A Moving Iron cartridge uses a fixed coil and fixed magnets. The stylus is attached to a small piece of magnetically permeable metal (such as iron) located in the magnetic circuit between the coil and the magnet, but not to the magnets themselves. When the stylus vibrates so does the permeable metal, which in turn disturbs the magnetic field around the cartridge, which in turn generates a voltage in the coil.

The advantage is that the permeable iron can be much lighter than the magnet, yielding many of the same theoretical advantages of the moving coil.

RE: DOPOGOE
You're not kidding about Grado's nomenclature being confusing.
I called them yesterday to see if they would clear up the descriptions for me and it helped somewhat.
Names like: Statement series Reference & Master,Reference Series, Reference & Master? Elliptical diamond or nude elliptical? High output or low output? Basically they told me that you work your way up their list on their web site to get from their standard to their best. Problem is, eight of their cartridges are listed with two on each line. Unless you know which diamond & output is better you are lost.
Good cartridges, but really confusing part numbering system.
By the way, they told me that the low output is better grade cartridge, do to less wire to travel through and the nude elipitcal diamond is the better of the two. They also told me that I was only about the second one in five years to call up and ask for clarification on their product line.
Maybe since their information email account has been down for a year folks just plain gave up...

So THAT's why my Grado - in a low-mass tonearm or fuggedaboudid - sounds so detailed and dynamic I haven't touched my expensive MCs in months! No more artificial highlighting of the high frequencies and mucking up the timing! No moe mid-bass suckout! Ah, beautiful music instead of those constant plucked strings...where did that instrumental resonance and decay go?

I was wondering why Grado MC was becoming such an issue since Grado doesn't make an MC.

Then I went back and read my thread. After calling myself a flaming mistyping idiot, I read the original thread.

Then I decided to say nothing.

I'm sorry for attempting to deceive the public for my own personal gain.

I hold my head in shame. But, I still feel that the Clearaudio would be a great combination with the Grado.

Even if it can't be a Grado MC.
