Grado Sonata and tracking


I have heard unhappiness from prior owners of Grado cartridges that they are poor trackers??? Is this a golden rule, or is it more a mismatch between arm and cartidge? I have a Well Tempered arm.

Cheers!

I don't think the tracking problems apply to the Sonata. I also have a well tempered and have owned severel Grado cart. including some signature models. I always had problems with sibalance on rock recordings but none of my former complaints apply to the Sonata. Once the VTA is correct, it tracks like a champ and sounds great in my setup.

I have no problems with tracking of my Sonata on a Rega 300B tonearm and LP12 turntable. I have the high output version and have no idea if that affects the tracking performance.

I have owned serveral Grado's and am currently using the 'Sonata' with the VPI Scout and I have had absolutely no tracking problems with it.
