MC or MM?

RE: DOPOGOE
You're not kidding about Grado's nomenclature being confusing.
I called them yesterday to see if they would clear up the descriptions for me and it helped somewhat.
Names like: Statement series Reference & Master,Reference Series, Reference & Master? Elliptical diamond or nude elliptical? High output or low output? Basically they told me that you work your way up their list on their web site to get from their standard to their best. Problem is, eight of their cartridges are listed with two on each line. Unless you know which diamond & output is better you are lost.
Good cartridges, but really confusing part numbering system.
By the way, they told me that the low output is better grade cartridge, do to less wire to travel through and the nude elipitcal diamond is the better of the two. They also told me that I was only about the second one in five years to call up and ask for clarification on their product line.
Maybe since their information email account has been down for a year folks just plain gave up...

So THAT's why my Grado - in a low-mass tonearm or fuggedaboudid - sounds so detailed and dynamic I haven't touched my expensive MCs in months! No more artificial highlighting of the high frequencies and mucking up the timing! No moe mid-bass suckout! Ah, beautiful music instead of those constant plucked strings...where did that instrumental resonance and decay go?

I was wondering why Grado MC was becoming such an issue since Grado doesn't make an MC.

Then I went back and read my thread. After calling myself a flaming mistyping idiot, I read the original thread.

Then I decided to say nothing.

I'm sorry for attempting to deceive the public for my own personal gain.

I hold my head in shame. But, I still feel that the Clearaudio would be a great combination with the Grado.

Even if it can't be a Grado MC.

Busics2 they aren't even next to each other on the keyboard, come on Man! ;)-~ My vote for the Grado Reference/or Statement series. I bought a used Platinum here on the 'Gon and am completely satisfied for now, maybe not later! Need further listening experience, maybe a road trip to Chicago(Music Direct) to hear some good MC's.

Colitas, keyboard proximity is totally irrelevant when your not thinking about what you're typing. The scary part? I own three different Grados. As a matter of fact, I think you had inquired about a Platinum I had just sold on Agon. But it was already sold.

Jsd, to make things even more confusing, all wooden models are also available in mono versions upon request with stylii options and output options.
