One of the most influential innovators in the area of high-fidelity headphones and cartridges for vinyl and founder of Grado Labs has passed away. His story and that of his company is fascinating.  

Joseph Grado verließ die Schule mit 16 als Uhrmachermeister und begann Crafting Tonabnehmer von seinem Haus in Brooklyn, New York. Und es war so weit zurück wie 1953, der Grado Labs, jetzt weltberühmt für ihre High-End-Kopfhörer und Patronen, geboren. Unter den 48 Patente er gehalten wird, wird Joseph Grado mit der Erfindung des Stereo-Moving-Coil-Kartusche, die die analogen Nuten in Schallplatten gefunden in ein elektrisches Signal umwandelt, gutgeschrieben.

Die Familie Grado die folgende Erklärung über die Weitergabe von Joseph Grado:

It is with a heavy heart for the Grado family to say that Joseph Grado, founder of Grado Labs and inventor of the stereo moving coil phono cartridge, passed away this morning at the age of 90. In the early 1950s, Joseph began using the skills he gained as a master watchmaker to start crafting phono cartridges on his kitchen table in Brooklyn, New York. He went on to clear out the Grado family fruit store around the corner and in 1953, Grado Laboratories was born.
Joseph guided Grado until 1990 when he passed the torch to his nephew, John Grado, and our headphone era began. For the past two decades, he enjoyed living in South Carolina building and tinkering with anything to do with audio. The Grado family holds Uncle Joe in the highest regard, and without him, not only would we still be working in a fruit store, but we would have never started making headphones.
