Ortofon SPU Classic N Cartridge

The SPU Classic N is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an 18µm spherical stylus profile sold without an integrated headshell unit. Those with vintage SPU-type headshells can use the Classic N to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge.

Listeners who wish to mount the SPU Classic NE on a traditional headshell may do so by using the SPU N adaptor. Contact us for more information.
