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 ST-7 transformer is a perfect match for the MC Quintet Black cartridge.
LH-4000 headshell is specially recommended for MC Quintet cartridges series.
The new Sapphire cantilever solution
Multiple studies show that demand for strategic natural resources
continues to increase. New technologies use ever-increasing amounts of
rare and strategic resources. Understandable that this increasing demand
may complicate future supply.
Over the decades, there has been
an increase in the use of Boron. Elemental Boron is mostly used in high
tech applications. One of Boron's benefits for our modern technology is
its use in neodymium magnets, which are an alloy of neodymium, iron and
boron. Boron has also been applied in manufacturing of phono
cartridges: Boron cantilevers are strong, stiff, light and 100% inert.
From all possible options Boron cantilever is the best, but
unfortunately extremely difficult to obtain.
To make sure future
supplies of the Ortofon High-End cartridges, we will henceforward
reserve the use of Boron cantilevers for our Exclusive series.
The new MC Quintet Black S model is graced with Shibata stylus on the Sapphire
cantilever. Sapphire is one of the best cantilever options that
provides an excellent mechanical pulse transfer from the stylus to the
coil system.
The Quintet Black S, like its
predecessor Quintet Black, produces detailed and pure reproduction
though-out the spectrum, volume and soundstage.
