Description
The Grado 8MZ stylus is originally developed for the highly regarded Joseph Grado Signature 8MZ phono cartridge. It fits all previous Signature and Prestige models and can be used to improve their performance.
Now it is only available in Singapore because Retrophonic custom ordered it.
The stylus profile of 8MZ is a nude elliptical, which is much better than the bonded elliptical profile on all Prestige series cartridges (from Black1 to Gold1). Nude elliptical stylus are used on higher end Grado’s Sonata cartridges.
