Ultimate precision for critical listeners
The Grado Labs Prestige Gold-3 replacement stylus is the pinnacle of Grado Labs' renowned Prestige series. This stylus is specifically designed for those who demand only the very best in analog playback. The Gold-3 is a carefully selected, top-of-the-line version of the Silver-3 series and represents only approximately 5% of production, selected based on exceptional specifications. Grado applies strict quality criteria, with only the highest-performing styluses being awarded the prestigious Gold-3 designation.
What makes this latest generation special is its technical refinement. The coil winding has been optimized for higher resolution and a cleaner soundstage. In addition, the stylus tip mass has been reduced by 17%, resulting in faster response and less distortion. Thanks to the Ultra-High Purity Long Crystal copper coils, this replacement stylus offers an exceptionally open and natural soundstage, with a channel separation of no less than 35 dB at 1 kHz.
The Grado Gold-3 replacement stylus is easy to install and fits perfectly on the original Gold-3 cartridge. It is suitable for tonearms with light to medium mass (up to approximately 15 grams) and delivers excellent performance with an output voltage of 5 mV. The recommended tracking force is 1.5 grams, and its 20 CU compliance makes it widely applicable. For vinyl purists and music lovers who want to get the most out of their record collection, this replacement stylus is a valuable investment in sound quality.
