{"product_id":"grado-prestige-phono-cartridge-gold3","title":"Grado Prestige Phono Cartridge - Gold3","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eThe Gold3 uses a four-piece OTL cantilever with a Grado-specific elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a brass bushing. With the Gold3, a machined turned generator is used to achieve a lower distortion and greater transparency. The Gold3 are hand-selected from production runs that meet higher test specifications.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eGrado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eThis technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eGrado’s OTL stylus\/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and presents more detail than previously obtainable.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eThe Gold3 are all hand assembled by our team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. With the recent development of the highly received Lineage Series of cartridges, we were able to have a trickle-down of technology and bring a new technique to the Gold3. This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. Our coil winding techniques, using ultra-high purity copper wire which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge. This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eAs in all Grado phono cartridges, the Gold3 is powered by a twin magnet system that optimizes the balance between stereo channels. All internal magnetic circuit parts are held to extremely high tolerances creating the desired stereo imaging. Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger design allows the Gold3 to have one of the lowest effective moving mass-generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ll-at-background-prevent\"\u003eThe development of the Epoch in the Lineage Series gave us an in-depth experience with using an outer housing as a damping device. This led to the creation of a process that de-stresses the chassis and dissipates unwanted energy \u0026amp; resonant frequencies, allowing the desired signal to travel freely.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-col-md-6\" id=\"column-wrap-id-1562386403449\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-column main-image-title extra-fields-wrap\" id=\"column-id-1562386403449\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-column-addons\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix\" id=\"sppb-addon-1532888180897\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon sppb-addon-text-block 0 sppb-text-left extra-fields-audio-specs\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon-content\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eFrequency Response: 10-55,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003ePrincipal: MI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eChannel Separation at 1KHz: 35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eInput Load: 47 kohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eOutput at 1KHz 5CM\/sec.: 5mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 1.5 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eStylus Type: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eInductance: 45mH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eResistance: 475 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eCompliance CUs: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eStylus Replacement: U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eMounting: S\/P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ll-at-background\"\u003eWeight: 5.5 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57419165761880,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/Grado-gold.png?v=1780388212","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/grado-prestige-phono-cartridge-gold3","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
