The Grado Stylus Gold4 is the official replacement stylus for the Grado Prestige Gold4 phono cartridge (high-output moving iron), handcrafted in Brooklyn. It sits at the top of the current Prestige series: it uses a Grado-selected elliptical diamond, a four-piece OTL (Open Transmission Line) cantilever (one stage more than the lower Prestige levels), and a brass mounting bracket. The stylus plugs directly into the Prestige cartridge body without disassembly or re-alignment, and it is fully interchangeable across the current Prestige series — so it can serve either as a replacement or as an upgrade path within the range.

Description

Top-of-Prestige Stylus with a Four-Piece OTL Cantilever

The Stylus Gold4 is the stylus at the Gold level — the top of Grado's current Prestige series. Handcrafted in Brooklyn, it uses a Grado-selected elliptical diamond for consistent contact with the record groove walls, a four-piece OTL (Open Transmission Line) cantilever — one stage more than the Black4, Green4, Red4, Blue4, and Silver4 styli — and a brass mounting bracket. Grado states a usable tracking force of 1 to 2 g for the Prestige series, set precisely on the turntable. Cartridge weight is about 6 g and compliance is 20 μm/mN, suited to tonearms with moderate effective mass (roughly 8 to 15 g).

 

Prestige Series Cross-Compatibility and Replacement

All current Grado Prestige series styli are interchangeable with each other and with every Prestige cartridge body, so the Stylus Gold4 can replace a worn Gold4 stylus, or move a lower-tier body (Black4, Green4, Red4, Blue4, or Silver4) up to Gold level — without changing the cartridge and without re-aligning geometry on the tonearm. Replacement is done by hand: the stylus assembly pulls off the body and a new one presses back into place. Grado suggests replacing a worn stylus after roughly 800 to 1,000 hours of playback.

 

Common Questions

 

Why choose this product?

The Stylus Gold4 is the official replacement stylus for the Grado Prestige Gold4 cartridge — the top of the current Prestige series. Fit it on a worn Gold4 to restore performance, or fit it on a lower-tier Prestige body (Black4, Green4, Red4, Blue4, or Silver4) to raise that body to Gold level, without changing the cartridge and without re-aligning geometry on the tonearm.

 

Is the Stylus Gold4 compatible with other Grado Prestige cartridges?

Yes. Grado states that current Prestige series styli are interchangeable with each other and compatible with every Prestige cartridge body. The Stylus Gold4 can be fitted to any current Prestige body to bring that body up to Gold level.

 

What tracking force is recommended, and when should the stylus be replaced?

Grado states a usable tracking force of 1 to 2 g for the Prestige series. The stylus should generally be replaced after roughly 800 to 1,000 hours of playback; a worn stylus degrades sound quality and can permanently damage the grooves on records.
