The Quintet Black S is the best example of Quintet’s overall excellence. 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 throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration. The MC Quintet Black S is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording. The new MC Quintet Black S model is graced with the Shibata stylus on the Sapphire cantilever. The Quintet Black S produces a detailed and pure reproduction thoughout the spectrum, volume, and soundstage. The Quintet Black S will be unfettered by musical genre and will give the closest approach within the Quintet Series to Ortofon’s true accuracy in sound.
