My Grado Reference Sonata is finally leaving my system. After a year of tweaks, upgrades and new equipment, the Grado sounds no better than when I started. Basically, I have a pile of jazz records featuring many great trumpet players which I am lothe to play. The treble of the Grado is just too harsh for my ears. I had an Ortofon in my system until it died last year. I loved the sound on this turn table.Oddly, the Grado at 45rpm sounds just as it should. But at 33, it sounds simply terrible.

- It's much more likely that the 1.5mV Grado cartridge isn't compatible with your phono stage. - ILoveJazz 11:50:34 01/29/04 (1)
