Ortofon MC Quintet Blue Replacement Cartridge

To get the best from your turntable, look no further. The Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge performs above and beyond its price level and is a great way to improve the sound of your set up.

Built on the Ortofon principle to create cartridges that recreate sound without colouring it, the Quintet Blue affords an accurate, transparent and convincing display of your recordings.

It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever. The Quintet Blue will bring more space, depth and detail into the sound and is a very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic.

While being one of the best sounding cartridges at its level, Ortofon has also taken into account size and weight, designing this cartridge for easy mounting onto most common turntables.
