GRADO REFERENCE MASTER 1 MASTER1 PHONO CARTRIDGE 5.0mV

Ships to US only

The Grado Reference Master 1 Phono cartridge is a fixed coil design, handcrafted at Grado Labs from specially selected species of mahogany. Unlike the Grado Prestige series, the Grado Reference cartridges have a generator/stylus module that is not replaceable thus allowing a redesigned one-piece magnetic circuit and a reduction of chassis resonances. The Grado Reference phono cartridges utilize manufacturing and assembly techniques of superlative accuracy and precision. The result is virtual perfection - the finest phono cartridges in the world! To hear the celestial performance of the Grado Reference cartridges, we recommend that they be used with the finest equipment.

The Grado Reference Master 1 phono cartridge features a specially designed nude elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing and a modified five-piece OTL cantilever technology achieving an additional 5% tip mass reduction over the Grado Reference Platinum and Grado Reference Sonata cartridges. The coils are wound with ultra-high purity long crystal oxygen free copper wire.

JICO replacement Shure N-72B stylus
Byron Chitty (Greenville, US)
Worth It

Better tracking and a crisper high end.

Just what I needed

In five minutes I located and ordered the belt for a random old turntable I found at a garage sale. The part came quickly and fit perfectly!

The original belt had deteriorated into dust, I don’t know how I could have found the right one without being able to look it up by make & model. (there was nothing left to measure!). Thanks to LP Tunes I was able to get this $10 turntable working and sounding great!
