"Best Bargain" Phono Cartridge
Grado's Statement Platinum1 MM cartridge uses a modified four-piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils. Platinum uses Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing.
"The Platinum could be one of the great bargains in quality cartridges today," raves Jeffrey Silverstein is his review of the Statement product line at www.positive-feedback.com."This is not only a likable cartridge, but quite an elegant one. Acoustic jazz, classical, rock, electronic - all felt natural and balanced."
Newly Redesigned Statement Platinum1
The newly redesigned Platinum1 cartridges has had it coil design reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of its generating system has been reduced by 17%. This decrease in stylus mass allows for enhanced tracking with improved imaging, giving a quicker, more accurate reproduction of the music. All this is hand-assembled within a machined, new processed, Australian Jarrah wood housing.
