Man, I learned so much about turntable needles on this video. Thanks!

Nice job explaining the key differences between the moels.

Thank you for this info!

Great video. I learned quite a bit.

That was very informative!! I'm still pleased with my Nagaoka MP-300 on the MoFi-Studiodeck.

Thanks very much!

I'm running an Ortofon MC-30 Super MkII, which is like a 20 year old design, but I really love the sound. I'm very curious about the newer Ortofon MC's.... if they have a similar sound & tonal balance as my MC30, only better output and resolution. A few years ago I got a Soundsmith Zephyr mk3, which is more expensive. It is smoother and more resolving that my MC30, but overall less exciting and dynamic. I end up playing and enjoying my old MC30 Super2 more often.

Great, now I want a moving coil…

I own the Red but want the Bronze. I'm not sure if my Rogue V3 phono preamp can sufficiently handle the Bronze? Plus I am beyond frightened at the prospect of having to mount that thing!

Good stuff!

Can you do the same review with the cadenza range please

its my understanding that the ortofon Quintet Bronze is a high output MC cart. i have a restored vintage Sansui AU-717. Would i still require a seperate phono stage? TIA. nice video. i'm currently running the 2m bronze.

Good question. We pulled up a few pics of the back panel but they were all too blurred to tell if there is a moving coil input. The Quintet series has slightly higher output than some moving coils but it is not considered a high output MC. You still need a moving coil phono input. We have quite a few to choose from.

If you're considering a higher end MM cartridge vs the same price for a lower end MC cartridge, which would sound better?, or is it just personal preference?

@AudioAdvice

If the brand making the MC is a good brand and you have a good MC phono preamp, we would normally suggest the MC. But it is personal preference. Thanks for watching

I may pull the trigger on either the Blue or Bronze. Currently have the Red. My bank account says Blue but my head says Bronze:). Also the lower output on the Bronze worries me a bit. I have no problems with gain on the Quintet Red Currently and it is indeed a great starter mc cart. Any help deciding is appreciated. Thx

If you can afford the Bronze, it would be a bigger jump up from your Red. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for more details. Thanks for watching

Any idea how these compare to their predecessors? I am wondering because on paper, my MC Tango seems to have better specs then the Quintet red.

I just had an Ortofon 2M blue installed and I’m loving it. But the past couple of days I’ve been looking into the moving coil cartridge and it’s differences in sound between it and the moving magnet one. Is there anything I need to tweak in my system to use one? I have a spare head shell looking for a cartridge to attach to it.

Thanks for the feedback.

You took the time to explain the architecture of a phono cartridge in a video pushing MC cartridges? You didn't think those interested in such high end gear would already know their way around phono cartridges? Shame on you.

So you are giving us a hard time for educating people on this fun industry? Geez. We all want the companies making high performance products to thrive and prosper so they will come out with even better performing gear. This happens when more people buy high performance gear. You would not believe how many people out there would love to get into vinyl, have the money, but have no clue about anything. As a matter of fact not five minutes ago we talked a customer who wanted to learn about moving coil cartridges who had no clue how they operated. He wound up ordering an Ortofon Cadenza Red and a 4K EAT turntable.
