While the Prestige Gold cannot provide quite the same ultra-refined, take-you-to-the-mountaintop listening experiences that big buck moving coils can, it takes you a long way up the path toward analog excellence, and for a pennies-on-the-dollar price." - Chris Martens / The Absolute Sound
"It was lively and detailed but never edgy on vocal sibilants, and didn’t over-emphasis leading edges on acoustic guitar."
"Beefheart’s Clear Spot, the undoing of many an under-performing cartridges, didn’t faze the Grado." "It’s a definite Best Buy!" Hi Fi Choice / Alan Sircom
"The Prestige Gold’s sound was readily identifiable, but after just a few seconds it didn’t matter much, so engaging were the results." Wayne Garcia - The Absolute Sound
