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!

Robert

I have the high output version and have no idea if that affects the tracking performance.

Then I got a Dynavector 20X-H and the tracking is far better. Didn't know I had a problem before. Also the highs are far smoother and the presentation much more defined. I am now a moving coil convert. Enjoy, Bob
