Grado Lineage Aeon Cartridge

Grado Lineage Aeon Cartridge, part of the Lineage Series celebrating a sixty-four year legacy, incorporates unique engineering that affords it the lowest effective moving mass of any cartridge.

Precise Sound

Like Epoch, Aeon sees final assembly by John Grado himself and offers supreme vocal and instrument reproduction with ultimate tonal balance, dynamics, imaging, and realism. Grado’s coil winding techniques, which have been honed throughout the decades, have let them achieve exact unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge.

This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging. Each Grado is wound with the finest properly sized and annealed 24-karat solid gold wire, which is the ultimate conductor for the transmission of the music from your record.

Lineage Series

In 1953, Grado started building cartridges on their kitchen table. Every experience in their history has led to the creation of the Lineage Series. The Epoch and Aeon represent the craftsmanship and unwavering dedication to sound that has been Grado’s main focus for over half a century.

Special Design

The diamond stylus, in a company first, is mounted on a sapphire cantilever that connects to the stylus generating system. Aeon shares a unique system used by Epoch that has the lowest effective moving mass of any cartridge, while Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger generator design creates a superior balance throughout the full frequency spectrum with superb resolution and clarity.

This is all nestled inside a cocobolo wooden housing with all of the internal magnetic circuit parts being Swiss screw machined or molded metal for tolerances on the order of the best Swiss-made watches.
