MC Quintet Reddie - new MC cartridge line from Ortofon in Denmark.
Technical specifications MC Quintet series:
The new MC Quintet line is making waves. Priced very attractively, it impresses all users. Here, in the most affordable variant as the MC Quintet Red, it is expected to become a bestseller. In this price range, the MC Quintet Red stands almost alone, and this comes with Ortofon's renowned perfect craftsmanship.
Previously, the cheapest MCs often fell short, leaving much to be desired in terms of bass and detail richness. Not so here. The elliptical stylus used here achieves previously unheard-of resolution in this MC price category and can outperform the more expensive, discontinued Vivo. Extremely convincing, unexpected, and the perfect entry into the world of MC.
