Purchased a high end rebuild cartridge, description on webiste below.
Ortofon SPU £1000 plus shipping
Another very special cartridge. The legendary Ortofon SPU.
This has been totally re built. The original suspension wire and dampers remain to retain much of the original character. I have taken it completely apart re manufacturing the coil former/cantilever inteface. It features our DHC cantilever, FG11 tip, new coils in slightly wider coil wire specially for this cartridge. Internal impedance now measures 2 ohms.
Cartridge tracks at 3.2 grams as does the original. Output around 0.2mv.
Not included is the headshell and SPU spacer. If this cartridge is to be used in regular tonearms, the spacer needs to be obtained.
This is without doubt one of the finest SPU cartridges available. Sent me a cartridge that was junk. Defective stylus. Spent $500+ returning 2 times. Salesperson (Natalie) smooth operatore. Written warranty to provide another cartridge at my option if I had any issues. Will not honor. Company in UK, I am in the USA. Found out a small one person company, total cartridge sales (per Natalie) less than 10 pcs. Do not do business with this company.
