SPU Meister Silver A

About the SPU Meister Silver A

The Ortofon SPU Meister Silver G MK II is a masterpiece of analog playback technology, representing a technological improvement of great importance to the legendary SPU series. Introduced in 1996 as an evolution of the original SPU concept engineered by Robert Gudmandsen in 1959, this cartridge features high-purity multi-conductor 6-nines silver wire (99.9999% purity) for coil windings, delivering an open and revealing high-end presentation. The nude elliptical stylus tip mass has been decreased by more than 50% compared to previous generations, resulting in increased tracking ability and superior reproduction of microdynamic detail. The revised generator system produces slightly higher output for improved compatibility with a wider range of moving coil transformers and active MC preamplifiers. The cartridge features an integrated headshell designed to mount directly into classic tonearms with detachable headshells, such as the SME 3009 and 3012. The cartridge body is crafted from ground wood and resin composite in shiny black, presenting a sophisticated aesthetic that complements vintage and modern turntables alike. Known for unraveling recorded music with addictive detail retrieval and high-frequency sparkle while maintaining a neutral, immaculately judged tonal balance with airy, spacious midrange musicality.
