📌LAB POINTS

• recommended moving coil (MC) cartridge in Ortodon's Quintet series, a step up from the Quintet Red
• nude elliptical diamond stylus
• spacious, deep + detailed sound; a  very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic
• body constructed from lightweight, impact-resistant ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material
• low internal impedance for compatibility w/ a wide range of preamps + transformers

"The Quintet Blue is a very homogeneous cartridge. The Quintet Blue's sound image will tend to more smooth reproduction compared to Quintet Red and moderate dynamic strength compared to Quintet Bronze. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever." - Ortofon
