Thanks to its nude elliptical stylus and the resulting lower moving mass, the MC Quintet Blue shines with an even more harmonious soundscape and wider reproduction than the Quintet Red. The 4N pure silver coil windings also contribute to this.
- Moving Coil Principle
- High tracking ability
- Elliptical diamond stylus
- Pure silver coil windings
- Optimally suited for medium tonearm masses
- 1/2-inch mounting for easy installation
- As with all MC cartridges, the stylus cannot be replaced
