Ortofon SPU GTE Vintage Moving Coil Cartridge W/ Built-In Transformer
The Ortofon SPU-GE is a classic moving-coil phono cartridge fitted into Ortofon’s distinctive integrated G-style headshell.
The E designation identifies its elliptical diamond stylus, which provides greater groove contact and more detailed high-frequency reproduction than the spherical version. Its low-compliance suspension and comparatively heavy integrated headshell make it best suited to a compatible medium- or high-mass tonearm capable of balancing an SPU cartridge.
It requires a suitable low-output moving-coil phono input, MC head amplifier or external step-up transformer.
It uses a standard SME-type bayonet connection and was manufactured in Denmark.
A highly regarded vintage Ortofon moving-coil cartridge combining the substantial sound of the traditional SPU design with the additional detail of an elliptical stylus.
