The redesigned Grado Statement3 phono cartridge stands as Grado’s most exceptional creation to date. It features four reconfigured coils and an ultra-low mass generating system precision-machined to be lighter than any moving coil cartridge. Equipped with a boron cantilever and a diamond meticulously cut to Grado’s exact standards, it is hand-assembled within an Australian Jarrah wood housing engineered to optimize mass distribution, resulting in one of the world’s most stable tracking cartridges. With an output of 1.0 mV, the Statement3 offers maximum dynamic range when paired with ultra-low noise phono stages. Its extended high frequencies deliver remarkable delicacy and speed, while the midrange remains rich and intricate. The cartridge’s bass response is solid, authoritative, and dynamic. Detailed imaging and an expansive soundstage envelop the listener, providing an immersive musical experience. Those familiar with Grado’s previous flagship will find the Statement3 elevates the benchmark even further.
