The Aeon MI (moving iron) cartridge sits right in the middle of Grado’s flagship Lineage Series. The Statement sits below it at $3,500 and the Epoch way above it at $12,000. The Aeon is built and designed very similarly to the Epoch so in terms of bang for the buck, the Aeon is the winner here. All three cartridges are in their version 3 iteration now and the one we have here is a lightly used (less than 50 hours) version 1. Below are the specs for it;
- Output: 1mV @ 5 CMV
- Controlled frequency response: 6Hz – 72kHz
- Channel separation: avg. 47dB, 6Hz – 72kHz
- Loading: 47,000 ohms
- Inductance: 30 mH
- Resistance: 91 ohms
- Non-sensitive to capacitive load
- Chasis mass: 12 grams
- Tracking force: 1.5 – 1.9 grams
We have the original wooden box for it and will securely pack it for safe shipping.
