watches. The specially designed diamond stylus, for the first time in a
Grado, is mounted on a sapphire cantilever that connects to the stylus
generating system. The Lineage series features a unique system that has

In the Details.
Extreme Precision
of the internal magnetic circuit parts are Swiss screw machined or
molded metal, which have tolerances on the order of the best Swiss-made
watches. Grado’s coil winding techniques, honed throughout the decades,
bring exact unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge. This
creates precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.
The Sound of Wood.
Built from Cocobolo
flagship Grado cartridge is nestled inside a cocobolo housing, adding
solid mass and a bold yet revealing signature sound. Cocobolo, known for
fine instruments and those chess sets that look too nice to touch, is
some of the most beautiful and tonally pleasing woods we have ever used.
Its denseness and grain is a primary reason why it produces such a
unique sound.
With Love.
Hand-Built in Brooklyn
Aeon built sees final assembly by John Grado himself on his workbench.
Every experience in our history has led to the creation of the Lineage
Series. The Aeon represents the craftsmanship and unwavering dedication
to sound that has been Grado’s main focus for over half a century.
