    I presume you're referring to the SPU Wood A? That retails at £1400 (plus the APJ-1 adapter where necessary) and for me will always be a special order item. As far as I know Ortofon are making them to order.

    No, I was referring to the Anniversary 100, the proposed successor to the A95.

    I don't know about that - I'm only an authorised dealer for SPU models and accessories.

    According to Ortofon's Leif Johanssen, in interview with Michael Fremer at Munich, the 100th Anniversary SPU is limited to 250 pieces, already sold out, and costing €5000 apiece.

    Interesting - love the headshell, Shibata stylus (like the Miyajimas!) but 5,000 Euros - nah, I wouldn't be in the market anyway. (And all sold out anyway it seems).

    SPU stuff from 19:30 if anyone is interested.
