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)

Chakster...see Needle Doctor and comments on other forums (e.g., Steve Hoffman). From what I've read Prestige line styli are interchangeable amongst all Prestige carts. There are replacement stylus options superior to the Gold that will also fit all Prestige carts. In my case, I purchased an 8MZ V from Needle Doctor and am using this in a Grado Prestige Black. At the time of purchase it was actually $50 less than the Gold replacement stylus. Price is now the same but reportedly the geometry is better than the standard Gold stylus. Again - I'm only reporting what I've read. Have not put the Gold and 8MZ styli under a 'scope to compare them though others I'm referring to claim they have.

This from Dialoum posting on Vinyl Engine (though he is NOT one claiming to have done the side by side visual comparison)...

"At the top end of the prestige stylus there are the following (in order with the best one last)

Gold1
8MZ
MCZ
TLZ

The TLZ is reputed to be on a par with the very best of the grado woodies, and some very high priced MC's - for $250 you can fit one of these to a Black1 body!!"

fyi...price of the TLZ is now $300.

Hope this is of use.
It a good news, many thanks Ghosthouse.
Needledoctor indeed stock 8mz, Mcz and Tlz now.

Actually my generator is "Grado DJ200i" in prestige line, i think it's the same as black but for professional use. Emailed to grado to confirm.
FYI: The shape of the stylus of the 8MZ is .2x.2,the shape of the TLZ and MCZ is .15x.09.

I own the 8MZ and the MCZ and you can replace any stylus with any cartridge.
