Ortofon SPU Synergy

Many thanks Unoear
I agree, even if retailers and distributors are definitely focused towards "modern" audio here, there is no reason to feel sorry... ;-) .I have been in Schopper.ch and they apparently have someone, a local phone number at least, representing them in Spain (!)
By the way, would you recommend instaling the arm in a TD124 "extended" arm board for 12" or in the still to be purchased from the specialist market large wooden massive plinth? ( I have seen both approachs).Regards.David

Has anyone compared the Synergy with a Shindo-modified SPU?

This would be interesting to know for me too.

I am progressing in my project. Now is turn to buy the Ortofon SPU cartridge, but I have been analysing the different info coming from articles, forums and brand papers and, apparently, there are specific SPU models for 9" and 12" arms; is this right?. If this is the case, which models are intented for 12" arms?

There is the shorter A headshell (especially for arms having the dedicated geometry such as Ortofon 309 or some models from EMT, the A shell is out of production but limited reissued for Japan) and the longer G headshell wich fits (at least from the size) to every regular tone arm 9" to 12".
