The Ortofon SPU A95 95th Anniversary phono cartridge represents the pinnacle of the SPU series, building on the magnetic system of the SPU 90th Anniversary predecessor. It incorporates a revolutionary customized SLM (Selective Laser Melting) manufacturing procedure using Titanium for enhanced internal damping and rigidity. Key features include the Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) system for stable force field and minimized distortion, a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever, silver-plated copper coil wire, and a black painted ground wood body. Designed for superior neutrality, detail, dynamic range, and sonic performance, it honors the legacy of classic SPUs with modern refinements.
