Re: To Grado, or not to Grado, that is the question.....

Actually, aside from the Grado hum issue with high output Grados and the unshielded motor of the Rega table not going together, Grados and Regas make a very good match. I have heard this combo once and it was full of musicality and great energy. No problems with bass.

The Master is terrific if you have the right arm. I currently have a Statement Master, but unfortunately, the current JMW-9 I have is a bit too light to do the Grado justice. Harry Weisfeld is currently working on a heavier version of the JMW-9 that will probably work better.

In any event, the Rega arm is considered more of a mid-weight effective mass tonearm. My suggestion is to call up Grado (their number is listed on their site) and get their opinion on tonearm matching.
