Product Details
Grado Gold4 Phono Cartridge, The Refined High-Output Moving Iron of the Prestige Series
The Grado Gold4 is a high-output moving iron phono cartridge from the Prestige Series, designed for compatibility with a wide range of phono stages. Its presentation is defined by clarity, control, and refinement: detail is resolved with precision while the top end stays smooth and composed, the midrange carries natural presence and texture, and low frequencies arrive with definition and authority. Even complex recordings are handled with stability and separation for a coherent, balanced sound. The Gold4 is available now at Vinyl Sound in Canada.
Key Features
The Gold4 features a bonded elliptical diamond mounted to an aluminum cantilever, delivering effective groove contact, reliable tracking, and a stable, controlled presentation with clarity and consistency. Like all Grado cartridges, it uses Joseph Grado's patented flux-bridger moving iron principle, generating a precise signal with extremely low moving mass while keeping the coil structure fixed, for speed, control, and harmonic integrity without the fragility of many moving coil designs. The internal signal path uses ultra-high-purity 5N OCC copper, with cryogenic treatment and internal damping to reduce resonance and preserve signal integrity.
