Ortofon SPU Classic N E The SPU Classic N E provides the same sound reproduction properties as the SPU Classic GM E series, but is sold without the integrated headshell unit.  The SPU Classic N E is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an elliptical stylus profile and provides more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. Listeners who wish to mount the SPU Classic N E on a traditional headshell may do so by using SPU N adaptor. Those with vintage SPU-type headshells* can use the Classic N E to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge. * Vintage SPU-type headshells are no longer available.
