Ortofon MC Quintet Black S
The Quintet Black S is the best example of Quintet’s overall excellence. It is graced with a Nude Shibata diamond, considered one of the best stylus profiles available, mounted on a high-performance Sapphire cantilever. The Shibata’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the walls of the groove and ensures detailed and pure reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
The ST-7 transformer is a perfect match for the MC Quintet Black cartridge. LH-4000 headshell is specially recommended for MC Quintet cartridges series.
