The newly redesigned Silver1 and Gold1 have had their coil design reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of their generating system has been reduced by 17%. The Silver1 and gold1 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 Gold1 model is selected from the Silver1 production run and meets higher test specifications. Approximately 5% of the production run meet these standards and become Gold1 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." Wayne Garcia - The Absolute Sound |
