Whats your take on the Ortofon SPUs?

I have been playing around with the idea of getting one of the new production model SPU G cartridges but this is based on little more than the fact I think they look neat. In my head they would just be big full sounding carts that mesh well with older records, which is something I am looking for, but Im not sure how true this story i am telling myself is. ha

My main concern is that since there is no way to change alignment I would have issues and issues that I can't fix without remounting my arm and altering my EMT's setup, which is perfectly dialed in.

Anyone out there using any of these? I would love hear some opinions since I can't audition one these.

Thanks for the detailed replies! Glad one of you, Wrm, is actually using the same arm I have too.

I think I might just hold off until I have a dedicated arm for one before I get one. The idea of changing my setup around at this stage wouldn't be too fun and I do have a back up phono stage thats not getting any use...

How do you guys like that Mint Protractor? I have been using a Dr. Feickert for some time and it has been good but I cant help but thinking that there are others out there that are better.

More to discover
