The Platinum1 has a rich, musical sound, with Grado’s signature deep, tight bass. This cartridge has a fuller sound than others at this price and is a perfect choice for those with solid-state electronics.
The newly redesigned Platinum1 has had the coil design reconfigured reducing the effective moving mass of the generating system by 17%. Hand-assembled within a machined, Australian Jarrah wood housing. The Platinum1 uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils. The Platinum uses Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing.
