The SPU Classic NE offers the same sound reproduction characteristics as the SPU Classic GM E series

The SPU Classic NE is sold without the integrated headshell unit.
The SPU Classic NE is a moving coil (MC) cartridge with an elliptical stylus profile and offers more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging.
Listeners who wish to mount the SPU Classic NE on a conventional headshell can do so using the SPU N-adapter.
Those who own vintage SPU-type headshells can use the Classic NE to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge. Note: Vintage SPU-type headshells are no longer available.

The ST-7 transformer is a perfect match for the SPU Classic NE cartridge.
