Grado Lineage Statement3 Moving Iron Cartridge

A jarrah wood body with elliptical diamond and boron cantilever. Handmade in Brooklyn.

The Grado Statement3 is a classic Grado design using a diamond stylus, boron cantilever, and jarrah wood to bring music to life. A special generator/stylus module uses a twin magnet system that has the lowest effective moving mass of any cartridge, providing outstanding tracking on your turntable.

The Statement3 uses an intricate curing procedure to achieve optimal sonic quality and image accuracy. The top-end seems to be endless with remarkable delicacy and speed, while the mid-range is rich and complex. Portrayal of low-frequency information and bass dynamics are powerful yet engaging.

Each Statement3 sees final assembly by John Grado himself on his workbench. These are built by hand in Brooklyn as they have been for decades.
