Ortofon SPU Synergy
If you want to align you have to move the arm...if this is not possible theres no way to align the cartridge, the distance needle tip - bayonet is set...the system itself is mounted with screws in its outer body where it might be possible to turn ... 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
I see one major advantage of the A...it might be easier to align this body shape than the G shell, since the G shell is very curved. 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
Yes the spherical stylus Is what I meant...its the simpelst stylus in the SPU range...therefore I would go for the classic GM MKII...the MKII just means the systems have a body made of grinded wood instead of the metal body of the version before.

You will get the most "origninal" SPU sound with the SPU classic (with conical not elliptical diamond).I have the classic but with elliptical stylus so I cant report on how the conical stylus sounds...but compared to my classic the synergy is not ... 
Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound
I have replaced the IC and Electrocube coupling caps in RIAA of my Paragon 12A with Mundorf Silver/Gold. In the beginning they sounded dead and like plastic but now they started to make sound much better. So alot of people reccomend Mundorf Silver... 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
The actual Ortofon arms are shown mostly with a long "G" shell or a regular headshell attached. if you have a adjustable arm base and therefore can vary the distance between spindle and bearing center it might also be possible to use a shorter "A"... 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
The old classic SME 3012 is highly recommended for use with SPU G it is a synergetic combination. I have/had several arms and preferred the 3012 with a SPU G (classic or now Synergy) over all Kuzma arms I had (stogiS, stogi, stogi reference). But ... 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
There is the shorter A headshell (especially for arms having the dedicated geometry such as Ortofon 309 or some models from EMT, the A shell is out of production but limited reissued for Japan) and the longer G headshell wich fits (at least from t...

Schroeder Model 2 for Technics + Ortofon 2M Black
@DSAis this actual how the Model 2 looks like? Mine looks like the DPS with the counterweight like shown on the No.2 on your page. I got mine from a friend. I was talking with Mr. Schröder on the phone after I got it and he knew the specific arm a... 
Koetsu step up transformer - who knows about it?
I would say trust your own ears, if you like the Koetsu step up..keep it, if not sell it :)I was a solid state guy for years and had some phonostages like Gryphon Orestes, ASR Basis Exclusive, Audio Research PH5...the point when I started to liste... 
Koetsu step up transformer - who knows about it?
Hi...theres not much information to find about these exotica. The price of the actual unit is >3000,- $ or Euro. I have one of the very very rare, earliest model (with some more japanes letters on front the the actual model (it says Musashino S... 
Schroeder Model 2 for Technics + Ortofon 2M Black
Hmmm...I never had problems with mistracking even of 45rpm 7" and 12". From touching the arm it feels a little more stable than a traditional unipivot. So therefore I was expecting a rather lightweighted sound BUT I was almost shocked at how funda... 
Schroeder Model 2 for Technics + Ortofon 2M Black
I have the Schroeder Model 2 running with Shelter 501 MkII. This is the best arm I had (I used to have all Kuzma models besides the Airline)...Sure a Graham or Hadcock might have a different presentation of the music but I believe that they won't ... 
Ortofon SPU Synergy
This would be interesting to know for me too.
