Re: Should I upgrade to the Grado Red cart?

The 5mV output of the Grado does not make the Grado a better cartridge, it just means the volume control can be ever so slightly lower for the same level of music. I've used both Shure and Grado, and IME they sound about as opposite from one another as you can possibly get. If you like the way your setup sounds now, you may not be happy with the Grado. If you're just seeking to "broaden your horizon", then this seems to be a good way to start. Send me a private email, I'd be happy to sell you my old Red with a new stylus to get you started if it makes the decision any easier.
