Overview Grado Prestige Blue 2 Moving Iron Cartridge Grado Prestige Blue 2 Moving Iron Cartridge Van den Hul The D-502 Hybrid TAC180-RCA Interconnect Van den Hul The D-502 Hybrid TAC180-RCA Interconnect Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable
Summary
Both the Blue2 and Red2 use a four piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.
 
Grado's OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.
 
Grado's OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.

The D–502 Hybrid's sound quality is extremely detailed without any metallic character.

The D–502 Hybrid is equipped with a centre steel wire to provide extra mechanical reinforcement and strain relief. This coated steel wire, can be soldered and used as an extra ground-lead. The total pulling force handling of just this centre wire is already more than 30 kg.
