MC or MM?

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.

Stop! Please make it STOP! The confusion is killing me! But go-go Grado! If the great Harvey Rosenberg (long will his passing be mourned) devoted a section of his revered writings to the Woodies, you know they're great!

I have both the similarly priced Grado Reference Sonata MM, and the Benz Ace(L)MC, on a Rega 600 tonearm. I had the Grado for a while, and eventually heard a hum, and realized that the wood body had a crack in it, from the screw hole, down the front of the bodt by the logo (no, I didn't crank down on the screw). I replaced it with a Benz while waiting for the repair/replacement. Luckily my pre-amp has controlable dip switches for both.
Anyway, the Benz has color coded prongs on the cartridge for the headshell wires. When I got back the Grado, I realized that the whole time, I had the left/right channels mixed up, because besides confusing nomenclature, the instructions show the wiring configuration, but has the cartridge upside down, in the picture (needle up). Why does it have to be so confusing?
OTOH, I do like the sound of the Grado better...warmer highs, and deeper bass.
