Offered for sale is an Ortofon SPU GT/E cartridge. The cartridge is in exceptional condition, and comes with original box and perspex stylus guard.
I purchased the cartridge from a Stereonet Australia member in 2019. It was then sent to Ana Mighty Sound (https://anamightysound.com/) in France in December 2019 for checking and servicing. Following the EU325 service they advised '.... Your Ortofon SPU-GT/E has now been fully serviced and cleaned. It now has a nominal VTF of 3.9g, tracking is >70 micron/30mN @ 315Hz lateral. The damper has been refurbished. The diamond tip is elliptical and in fine condition.'.
Since then it has been mounted in my Analogue Instruments (James Grant) Elementum tonearm. It has had relatively little use and is therefore in the same condition as when it was returned from France.
There is plenty of information available about Ana Mighty Sound, for example parttimeaudiophile.com/2021/01/10/ana-mighty-sound-great-cartridge-maker-and-rebuilder-review/. They have a deserved reputation for repair/ refurbishment of classic cartridges, especially Ortofon.
Asking price: NZ$1550.
