Thorens SPU 124 SPU Style MC Nude Microline Stylus

Thorens SPU 124 MC Cartridge at Vinyl Sound

The SPU 124 modernizes the classic SPU design with several
optimizations designed for optimum compatibility to the new Thorens TD 124 DD.

The SPU 124 features a revised generator system which allows
for a maximum output of 0.5 mV, relaxing the requirement for high gain
transformer or active preamplification systems.

While still making use of a highly polished Nude Elliptical
stylus, the stylus tip mass has been reduced significantly, resulting in
reduced VTF and higher tracking ability.

The Classic SPU Character, Modernized.

Experience the perfect blend of vintage soul and modern tracking with the Thorens SPU 124 Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge. Available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, this premium SPU-style pickup was exclusively developed in close collaboration with the legendary Danish cartridge manufacturer Ortofon.

Purpose-Built for the TD 124 DD

Designed specifically to complement the spectacular Thorens TD 124 DD turntable and its TP 124 tonearm, the Thorens SPU 124 takes the heavy, resonant magic of the classic Ortofon SPU design and updates it for today's high-end audio environments. It has been meticulously engineered for easier system matching across a wider variety of modern phono preamplifiers.

Rich Sound and Improved Tracking

The cartridge boasts a slightly higher output than traditional vintage SPUs, ensuring a robust, dynamic signal. It is equipped with a highly polished nude elliptical stylus, which significantly improves groove tracking and high-frequency retrieval. The result is an analog presentation that successfully retains that deeply rich, highly sought-after vintage-inspired character, while delivering the clarity and precision demanded by modern audiophiles.
