About the Classic N E

The Ortofon SPU Classic NE is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge featuring an elliptical stylus profile that provides more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. It can be used with vintage SPU-type headshells to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge, though vintage headshells are no longer available. The cartridge is sold without an integrated headshell unit; listeners wishing to mount it on a traditional headshell may use the SPU N adaptor. The SPU Classic NE provides the same sound reproduction properties as the SPU Classic GM E series and is particularly favored by audiophiles with vintage valve equipment and horn or reflex speakers.
