■ Review Highlights In this comprehensive review, Chris Thomas shares his experience with the Grand Master EX, placing it at the very top of the high-end cartridge market.

• “Dead Quiet” Noise Floor: Chris describes an “eerie silence” between notes, noting that from the moment the needle drops, the background is so black he had to double-check if contact was even made.

• The Triumph of One-Piece Diamond Construction: The review highlights how the integrated cantilever and stylus eliminate bonding errors, resulting in “unbelievable” speed, clarity, and dynamic authority that surpasses even the previous Grand Master.

• The “Summit” of Analog Playback: Chris concludes with a powerful statement: “Without question, the best cartridge I’ve ever heard in my system. It justifies its asking price through sheer performance.”

■ Reference System used in the review:

• Speakers: Wilson Audio Sasha DAW

• Amplification: Gryphon Diablo 300

• Equalizer: DS Audio Master 3

Chris summarizes the experience by saying the Grand Master EX is designed for those who want to “sit in the listening chair and experience everything in those grooves.” We are honored that our mission to deliver the artist’s true intent is resonating so deeply with the global audiophile community.
