To me, the Audio-Technica seemed slightly easier to listen to in general.

I’m probably biased since I’ve been using a Grado Prestige Green (first generation?) for five years. I listened on headphones. To my ears the Grado had better bass response and detail. The mids and highs were clearer. The Grado was clearly superior in my opinion.

@douglasallen9428 3 жыл бұрын

The Audio-Technica cartridge definitely has a very neutral tone (at least in my opinion), whereas the Grado cart really has a much “warmer” sound to it... there’s more emphasis to the low and high end, and to me it just sounds better compared to the AT (though I wouldn’t see myself buying the Grado because of the rather high prices). Anyway, awesome video!!!

@timallen2336 3 жыл бұрын

Just through my speakers I noticed a marked improvement in both bass and clarity in the Grado cartridge. I wish I could justify buying a Grado. I do have an upgrade that I should install, but am a bit afraid to do so. One of these days. Take care...

@PaulTaylor1 3 жыл бұрын

We're basically comparing the different EQ signatures of the two styluses here, i.e. how they deviate from accurately reproducing the signal on the record. So the record company carefully encodes it with the RIAA curve, but before your pre-amp gets a chance to decode it, the stylus comes along and distorts the EQ so that it's no longer right. Then everyone applauds the lovely warm sound! 🤭 Well it's whatever you enjoy, but EQ can be tweaked regardless so I would prize tracking ability etc. more highly then the EQ signature really. 😊👍

@EarlofBaltimore 2 жыл бұрын

There can be so many variables. The records are engineered according to RIAA Standards and phono preamps are supposed to be tuned accordingly. I just used a spectrum analyzer recently to compared a Rane and several other preamps on mixers and other receivers / amps and was surprised to find that there are subtle differences.

@theclearsounds3911 2 жыл бұрын

I agree 100%. They've been making hi fidelity cartridges since the 1970's. The idea is to make the frequency response as flat as possible, after the RIAA curve of course. Any deviation from that should be considered bad. You would think that after 50 years of hi-fi, people would understand that. If you want warm, bright, or any other sound preference, do it in your tone controls! The phone cartridge is NOT the place to customize your sound.

Thank you for a great show I liked it. For me the Grado cartrigde sounds much warmer with better fidelity to channel separation, treble and bass response and more interesting to my ear to listen to. The Audio Technica also sounds great but very neutral but with somehow less good in the treble frequency, not so distinct and clear. The Grado performs just wonderful to my ear. All the very best to you.

I've just bought the VM530en and absolutely love it. It was a slight upgrade to my AT120eb. The specs are very similar but the stylus is nude instead of bonded. Great video but the one thing I really like is when you say "the Grado sounds warm and I like that." For me that's what it's all about. The most important thing is your ears. If you like it, that's what counts because at the end of the day you're the one listening. Been watching the channel for a while now. Great vids, keep it up!

I mostly used Shure as a teenager. They were solid troupers and some had a dust brush stabilizer. I had an Audio technica AT10 back in the 70's and remember it suffered from needle talk and was a bit harsh and mis tracked. They were never expensive. I always wanted to try a Stanton and remember Grado got top marks in Consumer reports for low priced cartridge's but nobody in Toronto sold them it seemed.

@bikdav 2 жыл бұрын

@Mark Anderson: That’s an interesting observation. I had an Audio-Technical AT12sa on a Sanyo TP-1012 back in the early 80s. I didn’t have a problem with tracking and harshness. My biggest problem was acoustic feedback. Walking around the room caused severe footfall noise and speaker reactions. Yet when I tried a dirt cheap GRADO, the problem was greatly reduced. Part of that was the turntable. It wasn’t very good.

I didn’t use headphones, but I still heard the difference between the two. The Grado sounded wider (more separation between the channels) and clearer than the Audio Technica (AT). That doesn’t surprise me, if I’m not mistaken, the Grado is higher up their cartridge chain than this AT cart is. Regardless, it’s a shame that they’ve discontinued this Grado. It makes you wonder if the present equivalent cart sounds the same. For me, I’m a fan of the Ortofon sound myself. The 2m Red is affordable and gives great sound. And it’s easily upgradable as well. So what’s going to be the next cartridges you compare....🙂🙂🙂

@passqualecaiazza7728 3 жыл бұрын

I have several tables with different cartridges. They are either Shure or Grado. I do not have the Gold, but I have the Grado Silver, one step below the Gold. I have 3 Silvers. When I bought them I was told same as Gold, but maybe an imperfection of something. While the Golds were $260.00 the Silver $160.00, I do love the Silver and track it at 3/4 grams. Other 2 Silvers are spares. I am currently using the following Grado's. G+1.Silver, and FC+1. I love Grado period. None tracking more than 1.5 grams. The Shure's I use are the M91ED which has great sound, specially for records that were recorded so low in sound, the Shure gives them a big boost.

@ericodijk 7 ай бұрын

I have the VM520eb and just ordered a VM540ML. The 520 was good but the left channel was somewhat louder so that bothered me. I tried a Grado Red and loved the warm sound, but....... my turntable is a Technics SL-D3 direct drive automatic. And that is a problem with Grado, since they are VERY sensitive to magnetic fields. They then generate a hum, in my case it was as loud as a silent record groove. So in soft passages you can hear it. You have a belt driven turntable with the motor out of the way, try it on a direct drive...

@anthonyschumacher9925 2 жыл бұрын

I agree completely. The Grado is definitely warmer and for me, better. My favorite cartridge is the Ortofon OM 10. The Grado is definitely similar but I'm happy to have that kind of quality sound for a fraction the cost of the Grado. Love your channel.

I didn’t expect to notice anything when you said you were just going to stick a microphone in the room to record. I wasn’t prepared to be punched in the gut with how different they sounded. The AT was ‘neutral’ like you say. Clear but kind of flat. I didn’t notice how flat until you started the Grado. The Grado was worlds warmer and punchier with excellent separation. Almost a classic hi-fi sound. It worked beautifully with the music you selected to play. It makes me feel even better about choosing the Grado cartridge as my daily #1 last year. I’ll stick with it. ;) PS: love seeing the Search For Spock album artwork in the background!

@RUfromthe40s 3 ай бұрын

the 2mblack is better but, i wouldn´t buy it maybe a sumiko for the same price or around it is better from AT, Grado, goldring, etc. and Ortofon was like quality assured in the early 80´s ,there was a Dual turntable that had cartridges from Ortofon allthough they had some only the Dual logo and they used to say that it was one of the best turntables available at the time, and strangelly they look similar to the OM series but 1000xbetter, not exceed my opinion could be even more than 1000 times, as a REVOX from series B as it´s rectangular box rotates over the record but mine inside the system says ortofon, kind of tangential ,people call it linear tracking but there are regular turntables with linear tracking as a sharp i own and tangential turntables when they appear i thought it was the end of other systems but when they failed no one knew how to fix them so they were forgoten but they were very good as one sharp not mine it even got under the record to read the other side and some had direct access the arm had a lazer, as they call it ,but a photocelular cartridge that went to the begining of the record till the end after you could choose the track like in a cd player if you had the read under system from sharp, it even reads the both sides of the record, sharp/optonica was very good but problems appeared

In a cupboard somewhere I have a Grado cartridge circa 1988. One day I'll find it again ! I have an Audio Technica VM95-SH in my LP5. It's an upgrade on the one supplied with the LP5 which in itself is a decent cartridge. I certainly noticed the difference from the shibata stylus though, worth the money for me. Have you ever looked at Linear Tracking turntables ? I have a Technics SL-J300R and really love it, the convenience of automatic operation and track selection is most welcome.

@cubdukat 3 жыл бұрын

If it weren't for my turntable being one of those that don't like Grado carts, I would definitely like to test out the Gold. The last Grado I had was the Black1, and I was really disappointed with it. It certainly had potential, but it also had seemingly incurable IGD and no tracking abilities whatsoever. It's also disappointing that all of the Prestige styli are all variations on the same bonded .3x.7 elliptical. You would think the least they could do is give us a nude. That being said, when it behaved, it really behaved. I got some of the smoothest vinyl rips out of it, and a little EQ in the end brought back the high end that it only just hinted at.

The Grado is more clear and well defined. You would be satisfied with the Audio Technica until you listen to the Grado. Certainly a significant difference in price, but if better sound is what you're after this demo proves the difference is warranted.

You know I don't usually like making "opinions on sound" based solely on a youtube video, but... hmmm interesting shoot out here... IMO (using laptop speakers) the Grado had more detail than the AT, I feel like I could hear the greater frequency response of the Grado... but to me the Grado also seemed a little "hot." The Grado highs seemed sharp and almost shrill, but at the same time sounds like the cowbell had more "true ring" than the AT. I'd have to hear more and some different types of music, to make a full judgement but based solely on this, I like the AT, as I feel its possible I'd get fatigued listening to the Grado. Thanks for the fun comparison!

For me it's clearly the Grado cartridge. It almost sounded like a different song. The Grado made every instrument sound more "real" and chiseled them out so they would stand out on their own in the song. Every instrument seemed to have more details to them too. Yep, the Grado clearly won for me. BTW, the "directly from speakers" recording sounded really good. Did You do anything differently in comparison to before? I think I have to buy a Grado Prestige now :D

The 520 sounds lifeless and homogenised to the extent that it makes the musicians sound like they are just playing the notes and trying to get through the music.

Hey! Fix that speaker wire...!! :-D Good video... That mic you use for the audio recording is a classy bit of kit; it sounds great! The Grado does have a rather 'lush' sound to it, but Grado cartridges can have a problem with hum on some turntables; especially direct drives. Grado's are not shielded in the same way that most other cartridges are, and as they track closer towards the motor, they pick up more and more electrical interference and so will hum progressively louder! Your LP-7 shouldn't be a problem as the motor is so far off to the side/rear of the plinth.

I listened with headphones. The first one was like playing without turning bass control up, the second had much more bass, maybe too much for some tastes. The second one maybe was able to draw more of the encoded sound from the groove. It sounded more like modern digital recording rather than a 50 year old album with a damaged label. Maybe the price is worth it if the rest of your setup is as good. The song "One Note Samba" is copyrighted so it's possible you'd get a strike unless it's just the actual record that is what they care about. I think Universal probably owns it by now like much of recorded music from the '60s.
