Ortofon SPU Classic N E Cartridge
The Ortofon SPU Classic N E brings the signature SPU sound into a flexible, headshell-free design, allowing users to mount the cartridge on a traditional detachable headshell. It shares the same sonic character as the SPU Classic GM E series, making it ideal for both modern systems and vintage SPU setups.
This version features a Nude Elliptical stylus, offering improved groove tracing accuracy over spherical designs. The result is greater detail retrieval, enhanced clarity, and more precise high-frequency response, while still maintaining the rich, musical presentation that defines the SPU range.
With high-purity OFC copper coil wire and a low impedance design, the SPU Classic N E ensures clean signal transmission and strong dynamic performance, delivering a refined and engaging analogue listening experience.
