Description
The Ortofon SPU GTX E Moving Coil Cartridge brings precision to the legendary SPU series, building on its rich tonal heritage.
Compared to the GTX S, this model features an elliptical diamond stylus, which offers more detailed and accurate tracking.
Combined with a built-in step-up transformer, developed in collaboration with Lundahl Transformers, the GTX E can connect directly to standard phono stages in a similar fashion to moving magnet cartridges, ensuring compatibility with a wider range of setups.
Hand-built in Denmark, each SPU GTX cartridge undergoes expert-driven construction to ensure exceptional reliability.
The unibody design, moulded from glass-fibre reinforced co-polymera new material for the rangeenhances stability, minimises resonance, and supports the precise operation of the generating system.
These refinements make the GTX E a versatile choice for listeners seeking detailed sound and the unmistakable warm character of the SPU series.
