Grado Sonata V2 Statement
Grado Sonata V2 Statement
$600.00
The
Statement Series of wooden cartridges are a fixed coil design,
hand-crafted at Grado Labs in Brooklyn. An intricate procedure of curing
is done between production steps to achieve optimal sonic quality. This
series generator/stylus module is not replaceable* allowing a one-piece
magnetic circuit and a reduction of chassis resonances. The Statement
Series utilizes manufacturing and assembly techniques of fantastic
accuracy and precision, and the result is virtual perfection. Should be
used only with the finest equipment. Recommended tracking force 3/4 to 2
grams.
The Platinum2 and Sonata2 models use a modified four piece OTL
cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the
Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free
copper wire in the coils. The Platinum2 model uses Grado’s specially
designed elliptical diamond mounted on a brass bushing, and the Sonata2
model uses Grado’s specially designed nude elliptical diamond.
"Since
we have considerably fewer turns in the Statement Series we can use a
much larger size wire, thus knocking resistance from 470 ohms to 2 ohms
in the Statement Series. This new wire has over 16 times more area for
carrying the signal: this also shortens the distance the signal must
travel from 125ft to a little over 7ft. In the Statement series we have
also shortened the magnetic gap, increasing the flux density."
