Description
The Grado Timbre Reference 3 MC Phono Cartridge incorporates cutting-edge technology to achieve unparalleled sound clarity and precision. Using a five-piece OTL cantilever design, the cartridge reduces tip mass by an additional 5% over the previous Platinum3 and Sonata3 models, resulting in even finer detail retrieval and improved tracking.
The coils are wound with ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen-free copper wire, ensuring that every nuance of the music is faithfully reproduced. This technological innovation helps elevate the audio performance, providing a more accurate and immersive listening experience, with minimal distortion.
Precision Calibration and Expert Craftsmanship
Both the Grado Timbre Reference 3 MC Phono Cartridge and its sibling, the Master3, feature highly specialized diamond stylus designs to further enhance sound fidelity. The Reference 3 is equipped with Grado's true ellipsoid design diamond, optimized for precise tracking and extended frequency response.
Each cartridge is individually calibrated to ensure optimal performance, guaranteeing consistent sound quality. The Master3, on the other hand, is mounted with Grado's specially designed nude elliptical diamond, offering an even more refined listening experience.
Together, these design elements combine expert craftsmanship with advanced materials to create a cartridge that delivers exceptional clarity, detail, and musicality.
