Brand: Ortofon

The Ortofon SPU Classic GME mkII is a high-performance phono cartridge designed and manufactured by Ortofon, a Danish audio equipment company. SPU stands for 'Stereo Pick-Up', which refers to the specialized design and construction of this cartridge. The SPU Classic GME mkII features a highly sensitive boron cantilever, a nude diamond stylus, and a low-impedance coil winding system that provides a high-gain output level, making it ideal for use with low-gain phono stages. The GME (Gaussian Micro Elliptical) diamond stylus profile is specially designed to faithfully reproduce the most delicate nuances of the music signal, while reducing interference and tracking errors. The mkII (mark II) designation indicates that this cartridge is an updated version of the original SPU Classic GME model, with improved tracking capabilities and better stability on the record surface. The Ortofon SPU Classic GME mkII is specifically tailored for use with high-output Moving Magnet (MM) turntables, and is commonly paired with vintage or low-noise amplifiers to achieve an authentic and detailed sound reproduction. Its high cost reflects its elite position in the audiophile market, making it an investment for serious vinyl enthusiasts seeking a high-fidelity listening experience.
