Grado - Sonata V3 - Timbre Series Phono Cartridge
The Reference Series V2 of wooden cartridges are hand-assembled at Grado Labs from a Australian Jarrah wood. An intricate procedure of curing is done between production steps to achieve optimal sonic quality. This series generator/stylus module is not replaceable allowing a redesigned one-piece magnetic circuit and a reduction of chassis resonances. The Timbre Series V3 utilizes manufacturing and assembly techniques that result is musical perfection. The Timbre Series3 should be used with only the finest equipment. Recommended tracking force 1.6 to 1.9 grams.
The Sonata V3 model uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils.
The Sonata model also uses Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing, and the Sonata model uses Grado's specially designed nude elliptical diamond.
*All wooden series cartridges are 1/2" mount
