This is your last opportunity to own this legendary phono cartridge. We stopped making these years ago and have finally decided to part with our remaining inventory.
This famous internally damped and externally stabilized phono cartridge starts with a specially selected and culled model Grado Gold1 phono cartridge. We then internally damp the coils to eliminate microphonics, damp the suspension to eliminate mechanical resonances, and add our unique Longhorn stabilizer bar across the face of the body to provide a high polar moment of inertia resisting torsional vibration. Our engineering makes the cartridge much more dynamic-sounding, with excellent broadband musical response and superior imaging.
The Longhorn Stabilizer acts to eliminate cartridge/tone arm interactions, reduce high frequency resonances from propagating to the tone arm bearings, lets unipivot arms behave with better stability, and dramatically improves imaging and sound stage capabilities.
Our Longhorn Grado Gold1 cartridge provides incredible reach into the music, playing with the transparency and delicacy of the best moving coils, but with amazingly solid bass response, imaging, and dynamic range.
These cartridges are not recommended for turntables with unshielded AC motors that generate excess hum. Please call or email if you're not sure.
