Kat (figuratively) takes apart the Grado Timbre Sonata3 cartridge. Find out why it's so special, and how to best set it up. Grado Timbre Sonata3 on Upscale Audio: upscaleaudio.c...
Excellent video Kat. This is so freaking refreshing to see someone new with a different style to deliver the message. The industry needs more of this and less of yesterday.
I love Grado been a fan since I was a kid having got my first headphones and cartridge from them. Also love your delivery style - easy and informative!
always nice to learn about a long time major player in the audio industry. Moving iron, or a variation on that theme, is arguably the superior design among cartridges that use magnetism to generate signal.
Are we are seeing an UPSCALE KAT for the first time? She looks like she is going out for cocktails. Any minute now and we may be lucky enough to see her and Kevin sing a duet of "Muskrat Love."
Great review Kat. Do you think this might work well on my Rega Planar 3?? Am using the standard P3 tone arm. Good to see the use of some good quality Aussie wood in there. Cheers Tony
If I throw down 28 grand can you help me put together a awesome system , I'm in need of a great output amplifier, I play loud hard rock n roll , turntable , streamer , I'm thinking and liking Klipsch fortes ECT and maybe a second pair speakers like klh 7
Give me a Shure V-MR anytime. JICO stylus replacements are available. Several decades later it beats any cartridge available to this day. Effortless and accurate listening.
Big fan of Grado headphones but not as much of the their carts. Tons of great info delivered but if I might make a suggestion, maybe take a breath now and then. 🙂
Please, ditch the sideways view, it only works if there is an audience in the room in person. Lovely Kat is talking to us out here in youtube land so just face on is all that is needed! or cutting to close-ups of the item being talked about more than you have done in this video.
Yikes!! Her explanation of MI is WAY wrong! MI is no different than MM; it uses a remote magnet to magnetize the soft iron on the cantilever, so you still have a moving magnet on a stick. Just like all MMs. Only the source of magnetism changes. The rest of her explanation is smoke and mirror sales jargon.
@@saint6563 Really??! You really are just that ignorant? Her regurgitation of Grado’s terms for its simple MI function, to make it sound “techy” and “on the cutting edge” are smoke and mirrors. Reluctance ring, and telescoped canti? And somehow the reluctance ring interferes with the magnetic flux to create a voltage??? PLEASE!!!!
Wait a minute, what is your problem? Obviously just an ignorant hater as far as I can see. Sure, she works for Upscale and they sell audio gear, but she also happens to know a thing or two outside of that box dude. Of course you will never know due to your condition of a cranial/rectal inversion.
