Ortofon SPU Cartridges


I was just wondering if anyone is using one of these and what their impressions are? What tonearm, etc. They're very retro looking and I'm curious to know how they sound.

Stax UA70 & UA90 vintage 12" tonearms

Victor (Japan) UA7082 10-1/2" tonearm

Ortofon TA110 9" tonearm

These all have supplemental counterweights to handle the SPU. The Stax and Victor arms are 1970-1975 vintage and can still be found fairly routinely on eBay from Japan. Additionally, the Thomas Schick 12" is currently produced, has outstanding bearings, and is an ideal match to the SPU line. I use all of these. One more I don’t have but is equally excellent is the Ortofon TA-210, the broadcast-length version of the TA-110.
