For audiophiles who dream of a top-quality musical experience at an affordable cost, the Grado Prestige Blue +2 is the right choice. The main idea is to provide the highest quality playback of the record from the groove, i.e., to draw out more music from your vinyl records.
Grado Prestige Blue Cartridge +2
The Grado Prestige Blue +2 Cartridge uses a four-piece OTL cantilever with a Grado-specific elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a brass bushing. Grado uses a machined turned generator to achieve a lower distortion and greater transparency.
Optimised Transmission Line
Grado’s OTL, or optimised transmission line, technology provides an ideal signal transfer from the LP surface to the system’s generator. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion, preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the Blue +2 cartridge to a minimum.
Stylus and Cantilever
Grado’s OTL stylus and cantilever design make records quieter, improve the soundstage’s width, and present more detail than previously obtainable.
