Product Description
Ortofon Quintet Black S - the flagship MC cartridge in the Quintet range, was briefly used for a demo in our showroom. It was carefully fitted by a manager and then carefully removed and put back in its box. It was used for barely 2 hours and is therefore essentially in as new condition. A rare deal on this excellent model that will disappear from the website once sold.
