Grado Prestige Series ME+ Phono CartridgeBoth of the new Grado MC+ and ME+ mono cartridges offer up superior performance through an elliptical diamond, while the ME+ uses one of Grados upgraded generating systems. In this system, the cantilever bridges four separate magnetic gaps which requires fewer coil turns which, Grado claims, makes their cartridges insensitive to tonearm cable capacitance.
Each Grado phono cartridge is hand-made in Brooklyn, New York and tested for frequency response, channel balance, phase linearity, inductance, and resistance. All Prestige Series cartridges feature user-replaceable stylii.
