The Lineage Series represents the highest level of Grado cartridge design. Every model is built around a nude Shibata diamond paired with precision cantilever materials: sapphire in the Epoch4 and Aeon4, machined boron in the Statement4. Combined with ultra-high purity coil composition and Grado's patented flux-bridger moving iron system, these cartridges deliver the speed, detail, and low-level resolution associated with the finest moving coil designs, while providing greater stability and long-term consistency.
All Lineage models use Brazilian Ebony wood housings, selected for density and resonance control. The Epoch4 is the flagship at $9,995, with sapphire cantilever and the most refined coil geometry in the lineup. The Aeon4 shares the sapphire cantilever at $4,995. The Statement4 opens the series at $3,500 with machined boron. Available in stereo and mono output, all at 1.0mV.
