Ortofon Quintet Black MC Phono Cartridge, lightly used - under 3 months old. Purchased with a new EAT C Sharp Turntable that I've now upgraded to a Kiseki Purple Heart cart.
This cartridge was professionally installed by dealer and professionally removed by the same dealer so I don't have pictures with me holding this cartridge or an original box as this was bought as part of a package. It's now protected with a stylus guard and will be safely packaged in a small box with padding to ensure safe delivery.
Ortofon Quintet Black is the Best of Everything the Series Offers: Cartridge True to the Groove, With Precise Resolution and Insight Into Every LP.
Plays Back Any Type of Music With Extraordinary Detail and Coloration-Free Reproduction: Ortofon Quintet Black is a Music Lover's Cartridge
Quintet Black is the best example of the overall excellence achieved by Ortofon's new Quintet Series of phono cartridges. This outstanding overachiever comes with a Nude Shibata diamond, one of the best-available stylus profiles, mounted on a high-performance Boron cantilever. Shibata's slim and highly polished profile allows for an exceedingly wide contact area to a record's groove walls. It ensures detailed, pure reproduction throughout the sonic spectrum, extending all the way to the highest frequencies.Precise Reproduction Plus Seamless Compatibility With Most Preamplifiers and Transformers
The MC Quintet Series continues Ortofon's unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate analog reproduction possible without introducing coloration. A special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used in manufacturing the cartridge body. This lightweight, impact resistant material is extremely suitable for injection-molding and provides a durable, scratch-resistant surface. Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load, and therefore ensures compatibility with a wide range of preamplifiers and transformers (I have an Ortofon ST-7 SUT for sale as well).
