Grado Opus3 cartridge

GRADO OPUS3 PHONO CARTRIDGE

The Opus 3 is part of the Timber series, the next suite of cartridges above the Prestige. At only $40 more than the Prestige Gold, the Opus 3 is a no brainer. It's only drawback is that the stylus is not user-replaceable, but Grado offers an exchange service, so you won't have to pay full cartridge price when its stylus life ends.

The Timbre Opus3 uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils. The Opus3 model uses Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Timbre Opus3 cartridge is 1/2" mount. 78 RPM styli are not available with this cartridge.

Grado Opus3 is a phono cartridge that is highly regarded by reviewers. It is considered a "next-gen" Grado, with greater transient attack, low-level detail, speed, and extension at the frequency extremes1. The cartridge is unexpectedly chunky and punchy sounding, yet also quick, clear, and warmly engaging2. Reviewers have praised the cartridge's smooth, sophisticated musicality and tonal richness.
