FS: Ortofon SPU-G(T) SILVER MR

Hello,

I need to downsize my collection therefore I am selling my Ortofon SPU-G(T). 'T' is in brackets, because the original built-in transformer has been removed to improve the sound. To further improve its sound a boron cantilever has been added with a Micro Ridge stylus and a new coil has been made with silver wire.

Specifications:
Tracking force: 27mN
Tracking ability: 80 micron/27mN/315Hz lateral
Stylus: Micro Ridge
Cantilever: boron
Coils: silver
Coil impedance: 2,8 Ohms/ch DC
Damper: new silicon
Coil protection: washi paper

After the rebuild it has been barely used (less than 10 hours) and the cartridge has just been checked and cleaned by Ana Migthy Sound before the sale to ensure that the new owner will have a trouble-free playback.

Asking price: EUR 800 plus shipping

Considering the sound, the upgrades and the condition of this cartridge I find the above price fair, but I am also open to reasonable offers. (Only the rebuild normally costs EUR 800 and a 'G' shell sells for EUR 150.)

I can see that many of you are checking my ad, but no offers arrived. In case you have any doubts about the condition of this cartridge, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Also if you feel the price is not right let me know as I would like to sell this cartridge.
I am an old forum member and I already sold couple of cartirdges in the past with only happy customers. I can guarantee the perfect working condition of this cartridge. In case you have any issues with it after the receipt and installing it, please let me know and I will be happy to resolve the problem.

I can offer you a 30 day guarantee (from shipping date). If you have any problem with the cartirdge that we cannot resolve online then I am happy to take back the cartirdge and refund you the purchase price (excluding shipment fee). Conditions for the guarantee: after the receipt of the cartridge back (you have to cover return shipment) an inspection will be carried out by Ana Mighty Sound to check if cartirdge has been returned in the same condition as it was sent to you.

I am open to best offers and in case someone would buy both my SPUs I can give some nice discount.

This one is still for sale. A rather unique opportunity. I know that due to the modifications it's not an original SPU, but as with most old SPUs the damper needs to get changed after some time. As the damper had to be changed and unfortunately the coils could not be saved I had the option to get it recoiled with copper and silver and I opted on silver coils which I don't regret. The Micro Ridge tip just raised it's quality by another level.
So you can get a cartirdge worth of around 1300 euros (unmodified used SPU costing around 300-400 euros + SPU G shell worth of 150-200 euros + full rebuild worth of 700-800 euros) for only 800. As mentioned I am open to offers as I hate to see this excellent cartirdge 'sleeping' in my drawer.

I will make a bigger price drop so its price now: EUR 720 including shipping.

I am open to trade in an Apple iPhone 11 or above. In case you are interested please PM me.

SOLD.
