About the SPU #1E

The Ortofon SPU #1 E is a remarkable embodiment of classic Moving Coil technology, ideal for playback of stereo recordings from early classics to modern pieces, with an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. It features an elliptical stylus profile for more detailed sound and expansive imaging, housed in a precision-crafted combination of ground wood and resin composite with High Purity Copper armature windings and terminal leads for pristine signal transmission. Designed as perfect all-rounders for newcomers to the SPU world, it mounts on a wide range of tonearms with universal (SME) connectors, such as Ortofon Reference tonearms, and pairs supremely with the ST-7 Moving Coil transformer. Sonically, it delivers a full-bodied, powerful music image with minimum intermodulation distortion and impressive channel separation.
