Grado's Sonata Cartridge Will Make Your System Sing!  

Grado's Sonata is a perennial Stereophile favorite and one of our best selling Grado cartridges. The Sonata1 has a full rich sound, with a glorious midrange presence other cartridges can't match. Bass is taut and deep and the Sonata1 has a silky top end that seduces you into listening for hours at a time.

The newly redesigned Sonata1 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 Sonata1 uses a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils. The Sonata1 uses Grado's specially designed nude elliptical diamond mounted.

"...the Sonata does a great job in reproducing the bass…Yes, the midrange was excellent. The upper octaves of the Grado Sonata did extend to the limits of my test records and sound very smooth. Very nice indeed!" — Anthony H. Cordesman, Audiophile Voice

"And though the Sonata showed consistent excellence with stereo staging and imaging, one always sensed a truth to the recording, without exaggerated effect." — Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound
