Description

The
Grado Statement2 utilizes four reconfigured coils, a precision machined
ultra-low mass generating system (lower than any moving coil
cartridge), a boron cantilever and a diamond cut to Grado’s strict
specifications. All this is hand assembled and housed in an Australian
Jarrah wood enclosure that’s designed to optimize the mass distribution
creating one of the world’s most stable tracking phono cartridges. The
output of the new Statement2 measures at 1.0 mV. This optimized output
results in maximum dynamics with today’s ultra-low noise phono stages.
The top-end seems to extend forever with remarkable delicacy and speed,
while the mid-range is rich and complex. The Statement’s portrayal of
low frequency information and bass dynamics are solid, authoritative and
powerful. Imaging is detailed and precise with a sound stage that wraps
its arms around you and draws you into the music.
