SPU Meister Silver G MK II
The masterpiece of Mr. Robert Gudmandsen, the SPU Meister Silver was introduced in 1996 as a technological improvement of great importance. Ortofon has succeeded in having the purest silver wire ever produced for the coil winding process.

The SPU Meister Silver G MkII has been improved on coil winding material, stylus, and magnet. The cartridge has been outfitted with high purity multi-conductor 6-nines Silver wire (of a purity of 99.9999 %) for a more open and revealing high-end presentation.

The nude elliptical stylus tip mass has been decreased by a factor of more than 50%, resulting in increased tracking ability and reproduction of microdynamic detail. The generator system has been revised to produce a slightly higher output to ensure compatibility with a wider range of moving coil transformers and active MC preamplifiers.
