The MC Quintet Bronze, with its naked Fine Line diamond on an aluminum cantilever, extracts even finer details from the groove than its siblings, the Quintet Red and Quintet Blue. Its coils of 4N pure copper have fewer windings than those of the smaller models, further reducing the moving mass. Despite its wealth of detail and dynamics, its sound is extremely balanced.
- Moving Coil principle
- High tracking ability
- Fine Line diamond stylus
- Pure copper coil windings
- Ideally suited for medium tonearm masses
- 1/2-inch mounting for easy installation
- As with all MC cartridges, the stylus cannot be replaced
