Grado
Statement Cartridge
After years of careful thought and painstaking design, Grado offers their flagship phono cartridge. The Statement utilizes gold coil wires, a boron cantilever and a diamond cut specially for Grado. All this is hand-assembled within a machined Autralian Jarrah wood housing. The output for the Statement measures at 0.75 mV -- the lowest output ever offered by Grado. The low frequency information and its portrayal of bass dynamics are solid, powerful and authoritative. The midrange is rich, complex and highly believable. Its top-end seems to extend forever with speed and remarkable delicacy. Imaging is detailed and precise with a sound stage that wraps its arms around you and draws you into the music. Anyone who was impressed with Grado's previous top-of-the-line effort, the Grado Reference, will have their eyes opened wide after listening to the Statement.
