Choice of SPU-related headshells:
- Ortofon SPU headshell with gold fittings
I got this to turn my SPU Royal N into an SPU Royal GM, but decided to stick with the naked look. Has all the necessary fittings (wiring, weight, screws) to slot any SPU cartridge in and off she goes. £225 including postage in the UK.
- Nasotec Swing headshell for Ortofon SPU
This ingenious device enables all the benefits of a parallel tracker without the hassles (pumps etc). This is the SPU version which gives correct tracking weight once the SPU cartridge has been transplanted. Offered at £140 including RMSD in UK (these are £295 new). Really worth a look if you have an SPU.

Moving magnet cartridges - all plus postage £4, this stays constant if you want more than one thing
- Shure M3D cartridge with two styli - standard aftermarket, and (incredibly - very rare) a Shure M3D branded original in its own box and packaging. £150.
- Shure M44-7 cartridge strapped for mono, with Expert Stylus 3.2 conical cartridge, for use with 78s. Mono strapping cuts noise. Tracks at 5g. £60.
- Shure M44E cartridge with new original factory stylus, which has been fitted but no more than 5 sides played. £30
- Shure M91ED cartridge with aftermarket stylus sold to lilolee
- Shure M77-DA cartridge - interesting one this it’s a stereo cartridge with a 1mil tip, mainly for playing 7in 45s. Often used in juke boxes in the 1960s. Nice condition with original tip. £20 including postage. Could be a cool thing to have on a headshell if you have a 45 collection.
- Technics EPC270c in Technics headshell. Now becoming highly rated with people putting fancy tip on (it also takes the Tonar Diabolic E and S stylus assemblies). This one has an original factory stylus. £40.
- B&O SP1 cartridge - this was one of the earliest stereo cartridges dating from the late 1950s, it has all the punch of an SPU as well as quite a way with delicacy. Low compliance MM so fits well into a stable of other low compliance cartridges (currently lives alongside a clutch of Miyajimas and SPUs). About 18 months ago I scored an original B&O stylus assembly (unobtanium) and since then I’ve played maybe 30 records. Also has an ultra-rare stylus guard. I love this cartridge but it’s not getting played. £135 in UK. NOS B&O SP1/2 styli alone sell for that. This one fits a normal headshell it’s the SP2 that’s dedicated to the B&O arm.
- Linn K5. Came with a turntable years ago, condition looks good and plays well last time I had it on. I believe this is effectively an AT95E. £20 including postage.
