Josh EustIs Guest Review<br />
Grado DJ200 Turntable Cartridges<br />
MSRP: $110; www.gradolabs.com<br />
For the uninitiated (I’m just a recent convert), Grado makes turntable cartridges and headphones that<br />
rate among the finest from Mercury all the way to Pluto. I had the distinct pleasure of putting these<br />
through the “Pepsi Challenge” with lesser cartridges. Using Grado’s DJ200, I put on “The Rain” by<br />
Missy Elliott featuring Timbaland; it played with the most rubbery, gorgeous bottom end, warm, wide<br />
mids, and a flawlessly airy top end. Lightning Bolt’s Ride The Skies sounded as if it were recorded by<br />
Alan Moulder–simply put: Herculean sound. Autechre’s Untilted was met with joyous shrieking. If you<br />
watch the heavy cueing, your records sound better than they ever have, or ever will. JLE<br />
Josh is one half of Telefon Tel Aviv. His remix of Oliver Nelson for the Impulse! jazz label is out this fall.<br />

Waves L3 Ultra Maximizer<br />
Software<br />
MSRP: $600; www.waves.com<br />
If you’re a pro, the L3 Ultra Maximizer can help you fine tune and<br />
sweeten the perfect mixdown; if you’re an amateur, the L3 can get<br />
your tracks up to snuff for your next DJ gig or demo pressing. In<br />
layman’s terms, the L3 is a compressor/limiter that listens to your<br />
music on multiple frequency bands, and individually adjusts the<br />
volume peaks and valleys over time, resulting in a sound that is<br />
rich, robust, and perceivably (though not actually) louder. The perfect<br />
mastering plugin for all levels of producers. Jesse Terry<br />

Gemini’s latest innovation: "The CFX-20 is the perfect CD player for any professional DJ. It's truly the most powerful and<br />
flexible CD player Gemini has released yet – a must-have for all club environments."<br />
