The SPU Classic G E Mk2 is the joint third model up within the famous SPU range of cartridges. This takes the standard Classic G mk2 and replaces the nude spherical stylus with a nude elliptical. With this it brings a more contemporary level of detail retrieval and image precision.
Just like the Spherical version the sound still drips with colour and vibrancy, but there's perhaps a nod towards a more contemporary presentation, not quite a half way house to a 'modern' cartridge, but certainly heading in that direction.
This cartridge is suited to arms that are moderate to high mass and have an 'SME' type headshell connection.
Due to their nature, there can be a lead time on SPU orders, so please ask before ordering if delivery time scale is critical.
As MC cartridges do not have removable stylus assemblies Ortofon have an 'exchange' scheme where your old worn/damaged Ortofon MC cartridge is used as a credit against any other Ortofon MC cartridge. Please send us a message and we will calculate the cost to change for you, or visit the distributors website page here
