Grado Prestige Red2 Phono Cartridge Stylus

Replacement Stylus with OTL Design for Grado Prestige Red Cartridges

This is a replacement stylus for the Grado Prestige Red-series phono cartridge. It fits Grado Red1, Red2, and Red3 cartridges.

Grado’s Prestige Red phono cartridge use a four piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific-diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Red series cartridges are hand selected from Blue production runs, which meet higher test specifications. Approximately 10% of the run usually exhibits these specs and become a Red.

Grado’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. This 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.

Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.

"I recommend that you consider this $ensible cartridge, as it is good value for the price," urges James T. Frane in $ensible Sound magazine, writing on the original Grado Prestige Red and Blue cartridges.

NOTE: This product consists of the replacement stylus only. Phono cartridge not included.
