The Ortofon SPU Classic NE embodies the very essence of the SPU tradition, offering the same sonic qualities that made the Classic GM E series famous, but in a configuration aimed at experienced audiophiles and collectors. This Moving Coil (MC) cartridge is equipped with an elliptical stylus, a design choice that allows for more precise groove tracking and delivers a wide, detailed soundstage capable of revealing every nuance of the vinyl. The NE model is designed to be used with vintage SPU-type headshells, making it possible to recreate an authentic and fully functional SPU experience, true to the spirit of the original cartridges.

The SPU Classic NE is supplied without an integrated headshell, a feature that sets it apart from other models in the series and emphasizes its specialized nature. Although original SPU-type headshells are no longer in production, those who own or manage to source a compatible vintage shell can bring a complete SPU system back to life, blending modern reliability and performance with the craftsmanship and charm of the past. This cartridge is therefore not only a high-level option for audio reproduction but also a conscious tribute to the history of analog high fidelity.

Ottima. Ho iniziato sabato mattina ad ascoltarla e il risultato é un suono di grande classe. Sono veramente contento e ci sarà modo di apprezzarla ancor di più nel corso del tempo.
