Ortofon SPU A95 95th Anniversary model Needle replaced limited to 500 units SPU 95th Anniversary Since 1918, Ortofon has continued to pursue pure and pure sound, and now celebrates its 95th anniversary. Enjoy your musical life with the 95 Anniversary, the strongest in the SPU series, with the natural, rich, and gentle tone quality of analog audio. The SPU-cartridge was developed in the 1950s from an innovative idea by Mr. Robert Gudmandsen. Today, half a century later, while maintaining the same appearance, new technology and new materials have been infused into the cartridge, improving the sound quality to the point where the natural vibrations of the structure and mass of the cartridge body can be completely eliminated. The SPU 95 Anniversary extracts the true, uncompressed and uncompressed sound from the thin grooves of vinyl records and delivers it to music lovers. SPU 95 Anniversary is limited to 500 pieces and will be sold worldwide. We will explain some of the new technologies and materials. ?FSE (Field Stabilizing Element) is a famous technology used in MC Windfeld, Xpression that incorporates a small conductive cylinder into the magnetic circuit, keeping the strength of the magnetic field constant despite armature vibration. As a result, distortion has been eliminated and playback with high linearity has become possible. ?Ortofon has developed a SLM (Selective Laser Melting) production technique that can handle the complex structure of metal cartridge casings, and has created a monocoque audio engine with a uniform density structure by firing titanium micropowder with a laser. I made it up. This method increases the rigidity of the housing and maximizes the internal damping effect. - The pure elliptical diamond needle (r/R8/18?m) perfectly traces the unevenness of both walls of the sound groove, allowing for highly complete reproduction of the original sound. The acoustics are dynamic and transparent, giving a natural depth to the sound quality. ?The drive coil of the Audio Engine uses silver-plated high-purity copper wire (99.9999%). All minute movements of the needle are converted into electrical signals and pure tones are reproduced. - The SPU housing is made of a hybrid of 55% wood powder and resin. We guarantee the reproduction of soft, warm, natural sound quality without any squealing.
