About this gear
The SPU #1 E is the modern entry point into Ortofon's legendary SPU series, a lineage of moving-coil cartridges dating back to 1959 that pairs the cartridge body directly with an integrated headshell for a rigid, low-resonance signal path.

It's built for listeners who want the classic 'SPU sound' — rich mids, weighty bass, and an inviting analog character — without stepping up to the pricier Classic or GTX models.
