Review on GRADO Prestige Blue3 Cartridge Stylus by Jarrett Young

Revainrating 3 out of 5

By far the best - accessories

I bought the AT LP120XUSB for budget reasons. I was not happy with the AT VMN95E cartridge that came with the kit. I also found that the built in preamp and the preamp on my AV receiver are not that great. I replaced the preamp with a Parasound Zphono USB preamp and it made a world of difference. But something is still missing, I bought an AT-VMN95Sh cartridge. However, an improvement. So I bought Ortofon 2m Blue. Another improvement, but still not joyful. Then I bought a Grado Prestige Blue3. Doesn't matter. Very clean across the audio spectrum. I will be a Grado customer for life and they have a plethora of upgrades for me to choose from.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Cable shorter than others

This cartridge has a full bodied sound and tracks very well.
