Ortofon Quintet Black S Moving Coil Cartridge

£875.00

The Quintet Black S 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 through out the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove details.

  • Light weight and durable cartridge body made from a special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material

  • Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output

  • Produces detailed and pure reproduction though-out the spectrum, volume and soundstage

  • Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers

  • Supplied with 2 screws (M2.5 x 5)

  • Nude Shibata stylus profile
