I am looking for a MC catridge.For higher budget, SPU Synergy GM is a good choice.
SPU Synergy GM
The SPU Synergy GM modernizes the classic SPU design with a number of optimizations designed for optimum compatibility and sonic purity. The SPU Synergy features a wood-based housing and has a revised generator system which allows for a maximum output of 500µV, 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.
Technical data
Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec. 500 µV
Channel balance at 1 kHz <1> 23 dB
Channel separation at 15 kHz > 15 dB
Frequency range at - 3dB 20-30.000 Hz
Frequency response FIM distortion at recommended 20-20.000 Hz ± 2 dB
Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force *) 70 µm
Compliance, dynamic, lateral 8 µm/mN
Stylus type Nude elliptical
Stylus tip radius r/R 8/18 µm
Tracking force range 2,5-3,5 g (25-35 mN)
Tracking force, recommended 3,0 g (30 mN)
Tracking angle 20°
Internal impedance, DC resistance 2 Ohm
Recommended load impedance 10 - 50 Ohm
Cartridge body material Grinded wood
Coilwire material Goldplated Silver
Cartridge colour Shiny Black
Cartridge weight 30 g
