Grado - 78E - Prestige Series Phono Cartridge (For 78-RPM)
The Prestige Series of 78-RPM cartridges are designed for high output and excellent stability under even severe use. Each cartridge can be used for either archival or casual play without concern for undue wear on the record.

The experts acclaim these cartridges as virtually the finest 78-rpm cartridges in the world.
The Prestige model 78E uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished, elliptical 3 mil. diamond stylus mounted in a brass bushing.
