Ortofon SPU #1 E Moving Coil Cartridge
The SPU #1 E is a moving coil phono cartridge for newcomers to the SPU range. It uses an elliptical stylus tip, which delivers detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. Ground wood and resin composite form the cartridge body. High Purity Copper windings carry the signal to the terminal leads, supporting clean signal transmission. A universal SME mount lets the cartridge fit a wide range of tonearms with detachable headshells, including Ortofon Reference tonearms. This mount also suits medium-gain moving coil transformers such as the ST-7. The SPU #1 E produces a full-bodied music image with minimal intermodulation distortion, matching it to stereo vinyl playback.
