Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon SPU OF-3B is a moving coil cartridge that is specifically designed for use with high-output MC transformers. This makes it a great choice for listeners who use step-up transformers or phono stages with high input impedance. The OF-3B features a low internal impedance of 5 ohms and a modest output level, which allows it to faithfully retrieve detailed and nuanced musical information from your vinyl records. The SPU OF-3B utilizes a proprietary "dual magnet" construction, which ensures low levels of distortion and micro-dynamics. The hand-crafted diamond cantilever and nude Fine Line stylus assure precision and accuracy of tracking, while the semi-elliptical cut-out in the body of the cartridge eliminates unwanted resonances.Overall, the Ortofon SPU OF-3B is a high-performance cartridge that offers exceptional sound quality and is ideally suited for use with vinyl records that require high gain or low-noise environments. It's also a great choice for those who prefer the natural and analytical sound of stressed vinyl records, such as those that have been overplayed or poorly maintained over time.
