Grado TLZ ???

Hi, just purchased a grado cartridge. It is the gold with a TLZ "v" stylus. The TLZ v is engraved. How do you tell the signature? Does anyone know if this info is available and if so where? Thanks

I have a Signature marked XTC, but not one marked XTZ. I thought I had all of them.

The Grado site did not mention the last one ever made. It was the XTC, and sold for a short time and only in limited numbers. Also, I believe the site neglected to mention one of the white bodied ones. I'll need to check my collection to be sure, though.

It was a line contact type, and maybe the first cartridge to break the $1000 mark. (at least that's what I read someplace) I own several of the modern wood bodied types, but the XTC beats them all...in my opinion.

More to discover
