Hi folks:
For those despairing after Shure dropped out of the phono cartridge
business, there's some possible good news: I just read a review in
Positive Feedback of Grado's new Black2 cartridge, and it was a rave. In
addition, scuttlebutt says that the two biggest problems with Grado
cartridges, their susceptibility to induced hum and the infamous "Grado
wobble" have been licked. Disclaimer, I haven't used or heard any of
Grado's new cartridges yet, so this is all secondhand. But it's possibly
good news,
Meanwhile I put in an inquiry with my local dealer about whether they've
licked the wobble in the Grado 78 rpm cartridge -- the one with the
elliptical stylus. If so, that's be *very good news for collectors and
restorers.
Peace,
Paul Stamler
