ORTOFONMC Quintet BlackMoving Coil Phono Cartridge with BORON cantilever and Shibata tip Brand New in the Box. I purchased this in Dec 2015 from a German dealer, but did not have a chance to use.This is the model with the Shibata tip on a BORON cantilever. According to the ORTOFON website, a Boron cantilever is better than a sapphire cantilever (on the current Quintet Black "S" model)
"Boron cantilevers are strong, stiff, light and 100% inert. From all possible options Boron cantilever is the best, but unfortunately extremely difficult to obtain.
To make sure future supplies of the Ortofon High-End cartridges, we will henceforward reserve the use of Boron cantilevers for our Exclusive series."Complete & new in the boxThe Quintet Black is the best example of Quintet’s overall excellence. The Quintet Black will be unfettered by musical genre and will give the closest approach within the Quintet series to Ortofon’s true accuracy in sound. MC Quintet Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording The Quintet Black is graced with a Nude Shibata diamond, considered one of the best stylus profiles available, mounted on a high-performance Boron cantilever. The Shibata’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the walls of the groove and ensures detailed and pure reproduction thoughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.Technical dataOutput voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec. - 0.3 mVChannel balance at 1 kHz - < 1.0 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz - > 23 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz - > 15 dBFrequency range at - 3dB - 20 - 25.000 HzFrequency response 20-20.000 Hz - +/- 1.5 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force *) - 80 µmCompliance, dynamic, lateral - 15 µm/mNStylus type - Nude Shibata on Boron cantileverStylus tip radius - r/R 6/50 µm*) Typical valueTracking force range - 2.1-2.5 g (21-25 mN)Tracking force, recommended - 2.3 g (23 mN)Tracking angle - 20°Internal impedance, DC resistance - 5 OhmRecommended load impedance - > 20 OhmCartridge body material - ABS/AluminiumCoil wire material - Aucurum Cartridge colour - BlackCartridge weight - 9 gBuy with confidence.
