Curio, The Grado cartridges are not known for great shielding so if your turn tables motor is not shielded you'll get a hum especially as the cartridge moves closer to the motor. I've had several tables which you simply could not use a Grado on and, conversely several where they were no problem at all. FWIW.
Cartridge recommendations
I am interested in upgrading the cartridge in my current basement system:
it includes a Rogue Audio Cronus integrated, Project Tube Box Se-II phono stage, a Project Debut turntable, a Denon 110 cartridge, and Dynaudio Focus 220 speakers. I am looking to upgrade the system primarily by changing the cartridge. I am looking for a bit warmer sound, and would consider a Grado, but I have some concerns about hum with the system. Any recommendations for a cartridge that would be $300 or less?
