Ortofon GT stylus

This is a replacement stylus for the Ortofon GT cartridge.

GT was developed by Ortofon in close co-operation with SWS Audio GmbH. The cartridge was named “Great and Tough” and was based on the construction of the well-known Ortofon Series 500 design – mend for standard half inch mounting – in a black housing with white printing.

The vital parts in the GT are based on a very robust and reliable parts used in Scratch. Further, during development of GT, efforts were also concentrated on supplying a very high output of 8 mV and improvement of frequency response to give higher resolution and sound image.
