    Ortofon SPU A for Shindo

    Does anyone know if Shindo still rebuilds Ortofon Type A SPU's to Shindo SPU A

    Also does anyone know how to distinguish if a SPU A has a bakelite body or not.

    Nice!
    I am not. I have the new EMT 997 and would consider one for that. But I am on the fence about weather or not it is something I should do since I don't own Shindo gear. Another thing is will they build one for me if I am not a Shindo owner.

    I don't see why not--it is a paying assignment one is asking.

    Good Luck anyway

    SPU-A is no more. From what I know Shindo SPU is the old bakelite bodies and the low output and low impedance compared to the last A bodies that Ortofon made. So you need to source your own cart for them to rebuild is what I understand.

    Shindo A cart is no more in Ortofon production.
