Prestige Grado MI stylus replacement question

The question is about modern grado line of gartridges

Seems like Gold is the most advanced stylus in Grado Prestige series of MI cartridges.

But is that OK to use this stylus on cheaper grado generator like Green1, Black1 or GradoDJ or each one for their own generator only?

As i can see the specs are the same, except the higher compliance on GradoDJ (30cu instead of 20cu on all others)

Gosthouse, i just asked Grado Support today and this is the answer:
"the 8MZ is a nude elliptical"

I assumed there is no different old or new stock.

That's good news Chakster. I was only passing along the info relayed to me from
someone I consider a highly reputable source. I guess I'll have to get mine under
some magnification to see what it actually looks like. Certainly hope new and
old stock are the same! i.e., nude. Thanks. Let me know if you learn anything
more.

By the way, here's a link to that discussion I mentioned in an earlier post (on
AudioKarma)

Chakster - Thanks very much for that link. I knew they were in Brooklyn but great to see the actual facility and get a better sense of how much a "family run" business their operation really is. To me Grado is a throwback to a time of successful American entrepreneurship that stands in strong contrast to the publicly traded corporate business model where product is subordinate to stock price. Thanks again. I enjoyed it.
