New technologies use ever-increasing amounts of rare and strategic resources. Understandable that this increasing demand may complicate future supply. \u003cbr\u003eOver the decades, there has been an increase in the use of Boron. Elemental Boron is mostly used in high tech applications. One of Boron's benefits for our modern technology is its use in neodymium magnets, which are an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron. Boron has also been applied in manufacturing of phono cartridges: Boron cantilevers are strong, stiff, light and 100% inert. From all possible options Boron cantilever is the best, but unfortunately extremely difficult to obtain.\u003cbr\u003eTo make sure future supplies of the Ortofon High-End cartridges, we will henceforward reserve the use of Boron cantilevers for our Exclusive series.\u003cbr\u003eThe new MC Quintet Black S model is graced with Shibata stylus on the Sapphire cantilever. Sapphire is one of the best cantilever options that provides an excellent mechanical pulse transfer from the stylus to the coil system.\u003cbr\u003eThe Quintet Black S, like its predecessor Quintet Black, produces detailed and pure reproduction though-out the spectrum, volume and soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEase of use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminuim frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell. \u003cbr\u003eThe Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly. The Quintet Series gives excellent results with most common tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Quintet Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing demonstrates Ortofon's long-standing resilience more than its commitment to the refinement of analogue sound quality and its continued development of new cartridge models. Since 1948 Ortofon has introduced about 100 different Moving Coil models. We believe the cartridges in this new series are more than worthy successors to the long line of models that has made Ortofon the global leader in the manufacture and supply of phono cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MC Quintet Series is a direct result of our continued research and innovation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003eA special ABS (Acrylonitrile\/Butadiene\/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing of the body.
