Review on GRADO Prestige Blue3 Cartridge Stylus by Joshua Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Nuts Drove Me Nuts

I have 3 Grado headphones because they sound great. I needed a new cartridge for my Thorens TD-170 turntable and of course I wanted a Grado. The problem is that it is very difficult to fit a standard cartridge on a Thorens arm that does not have a detachable cartridge case. Very small screws and even smaller nuts must be used.

However, I send this cartridge back and receive a cartridge that attaches to the tonearm with no nuts. FYI if you have a P mount arm,

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
