The Master3 and Reference3 cartridges feature a five-piece OTL cantilever technology, reducing tip mass by an additional 5% compared to the Platinum3 and Sonata3 models. Coils wound with ultra-high purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen-free copper wire ensure exceptional performance. The Master3 is equipped with Grado's specially designed nude elliptical diamond, while the Reference3 utilizes Grado's true ellipsoid design diamond. Each cartridge is individually calibrated for optimal performance.
