Hi Denf,
I have always been fond of the entire Grado line, but you were asking about the ClearAudio Aurum Beta, I have the current Aurum Beta (S) and I love it.
To begin, the bass is very pronounced (not boomy) but very detailed with strong, quick attacks. The channel separation is extraordinary. It doesn’t accentuate any portion of the audio spectrum over any other, nor does it emphasize any group of instruments over any others.
However, the final glorious revelation comes from the layers and layers of beautiful, clear music, which this unit seems to dig down deep and reveal; this is particularly evident in large orchestra and choral works.
Just a great cartridge for the money.
Regards, and good luck
