reconfigured, and the effective moving mass of their generating system
has been reduced by 17%. The Silver1 and gold1 models use a four piece
OTL cantilever technology, ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen
free copper wire in the coils and Grado's specially designed elliptical
diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Gold1 model is selected from
the Silver1 production run and meets higher test specifications.
Approximately 5% of the production run meet these standards and become
Gold1 models. What People are saying about the Gold... | "It was lively and detailed but never edgy on vocal sibilants, and didn't over-emphasis leading edges on acoustic guitar." | | "Beefheart's Clear Spot, the undoing of many an under-performing cartridges, didn't faze the Grado." | | "It's a definite Best Buy!" | | Hi Fi Choice / Alan Sircom | "The Prestige Gold's sound was readily identifiable, but after just a few seconds it didn't matter much, so engaging were the results."
