Re-discover Your Vinyl with Grado's Master1! 

The Master1 is the perfect step for those who love the Grado sound and want to experience what Grado's upper-end designs are capable of. A step up from Grado's wonderful Sonata1, the Master1 is a smoother, sweeter, more sophisticated design. Offering greater refinement, the Master1 improves on everything the Sonata1 does; soundstaging is superior, with greater depth and precision; midrange resolution is noticeably clearer with more presence and texture. The Master1 is also able to resolve fine detail more clearly, creating greater insight into every recording.

The newly redesigned Master1 has a reconfigured coil design reducing the effective moving mass of the generating system by 17%. Hand-assembled within a machined, Australian Jarrah wood housing, the Master1 uses a five piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 5% tip mass reduction over Platinum and Sonata models. The coils are wound with Ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire and the Master1 uses Grado's specially designed nude elliptical diamond.

"As a long time Grado user, I was quite shocked at what I heard; all of the Grado virtues, but with a lot more warmth and silkiness and much better dynamic contrast -- including a lower noise floor...But, as the Grado blurb says if your system can be driven with a 0.5mV output phono cartridge, then you deserve to be listening to the new Grado Statement Series. I second that emotion: It is an absolute killer." — Ken Kessler, Hi Fi News
