Grado Prestige Black3 — cartridge and replacement stylus
Moving-iron design (MM-compatible input). User-replaceable stylus; Grado's 8MZ stylus is the classic drop-in upgrade. Superseded in 2025-26 by the Prestige '4' series (Black4/Green4 — Green4 $140 at gradolabs.com); 4-series styli fit 3-series bodies, so buy current styli. Grado publishes no stylus-life figure.
