The Opus3 was designed to bridge the gap between entry-level and mid-range phono cartridges, fostering a more cohesive lineup. Grado developed the Opus3 as an affordable wooden cartridge, incorporating advanced techniques from their premium models. Ideal for those looking to upgrade their turntable setup, the Opus3 features a Maple housing, a material refined through years of use in Grado’s Heritage and Statement Series headphones. Maple delivers a rich, detailed sound with reliability and clarity. Enhanced by specialized thermal aging, the housing effectively reduces and manages resonant frequencies for improved performance.
