SPU Gold Reference vs Silver Meister vs Synergy?

Anybody listened to those Ortofon SPU cartridges?
How are they different?
Here are the current SPU G lineups, in the order of their price.
95th > Royal GM MKii > Synergy GM > Silver Meister GM MKii > Classic GM E MKii > Classic GM MKii.

Ortofon does not produce any Gold SPU cartridges. Where would SPU Gold reference belong in its price?

I am using a Bob's Device SUT with my SPU Gold. The SUT does give a significant improvement.

I would like to try the Auditorium Hommage T1 SUT but it's too expensive....... :-(

"I would look for better SUT for the SPU cartridges....It may be more $$$ but you will gain a lot....you may start with Patridge 7834 or Ortofon SPU T 1...."

Did you mean Auditorium 23 T1 SUT?

Dear lhcho,

Sorry for late reply. I mean SPU Gold. Have not compared to Gold Ref. But I think the newer stylus don't sound as good as the older stylus. I also agree that SPU Mono sounds better than DL102.

I own all the SPU iterations including the Anniversary box set #1. I like the SPU95th most followed by the Silver Meister and then the Urushi Spirit. Synergy is too "thick". The Silver Meister A is better than the G on Ortofon arms!
