The
Platinum and Sonata models use a modified four piece OTL cantilever technology
achieving a 10% tip mass reduction over the Prestige series and ultra-high
purity long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper wire in the coils. The
Platinum model uses Grado's specially designed elliptical diamond mounted
on a brass bushing, and the Sonata model uses Grado's specially designed
nude elliptical diamond.
"And
though the Sonata showed consistent excellence
with stereo staging and imaging, one always sensed a truth to
the recording, without
exaggerated effect."
-Wayne Garcia - The Absolute Sound
"…the
Sonata does a great job in reproducing the bass…Yes, the
midrange was excellent. The upper octaves of the Grado Sonata
did extend to the limits of my test records and sound very smooth.
Very nice indeed!"
