The
Prestige Gold & Silver
The
Silver and Gold models use a four piece OTL cantilever technology, ultra-high
purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils and Grado's
specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The
Gold model is selected from the Silver production run and meet higher
test specifications. Approximately 5% of the production run meet these
standards and become Gold models.
What
People are saying about the Gold...
"While the Prestige Gold cannot provide quite the same ultra-refined, take-you-to-the-mountaintop listening experiences that big buck moving coils can, it takes you a long way up the path toward analog excellence, and for a pennies-on-the-dollar price."
- Chris Martens / The Absolute Sound |
| "It
was lively and detailed but never edgy on vocal sibilants, and didn't
over-emphasis leading edges on acoustic guitar." |
| "Beefheart's
Clear Spot, the undoing of many an under-performing cartridges,
didn't faze the Grado." |
| "It's
a definite Best Buy!" |
| Hi
Fi Choice / Alan Sircom |
"The
Prestige Gold's sound was readily identifiable, but after just
a few seconds it didn't matter much, so engaging were
the results."
