Grado Signature TLZ
The Grado Signature TLZ belongs to the hand built Signature series at the high end. The MI generator delivers 1.57 mV, lower than typical, so spare gain at the phono stage helps. The elliptical stylus runs at a rated tracking force of 1.5 g. The replaceable stylus carries the TLZ name, and Phono Culture lists one compatible replacement.

Additional Info
The Grado Signature TLZ puts a natural, forgiving midrange front and center, so vocals sound textured and human instead of analytical. The elliptical stylus rides grooves smoothly and takes surface imperfections in stride, while warm-leaning bass and lively dynamics keep jazz, vocal and classic rock engaging on modest to mid systems. The stylus is user-replaceable and compatible with the Prestige line.
