Review on GRADO Prestige Blue3 Cartridge Stylus by Mariealphonse Seattle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Nuts Drove Me Nuts

I have 3 sets of Grado headphones as they sound great to me. I needed a new cartridge for my Thorens TD-170 turntable and of course I wanted a Grado. The problem is that it's very difficult to fit a standard pickup to a Thorens arm that doesn't have a detachable headshell. Very small screws and even smaller nuts must be used. I tried many times before I gave up. Grado was great when it came to helping and I will be buying more Grado products in the future. 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, make sure you specifically order a P-mount cartridge. Otherwise, Revain will send you a standard mounting cartridge.
