Description
The Ortofon MC Quintet Bronze is a higher-end cartridge in Ortofon’s new Quintet Moving Coil range, featuring a Nude Fine Line diamond stylus. This stylus design is very slim profile and is capable of tracking even the highest frequency information, making it ideal for the enthusiast who craves detail. Its larger footprint also aids in reducing and minimising distortion and record wear.
The Quintet range offers a taste of high-end Moving Coil performance but at a more affordable price point than has previously been available. This cartridge has very high price-to-performance ratio all-rounder and offers incredible detail levels and resolution in an even manner which respects all elements without emphasising any frequencies.
