Enter the Exclusive World of Ortofon’s Famous Moving Coil Sound!
The Quintet Red is a perfect introduction to the world of Ortofon moving coils. It features an Elliptical diamond which is cut and polished to Ortofon’s standards.
This entry-level MC cartridge has very high price-to-performance ratio and is a perfect all-rounder for the newcomers to the world of Moving Coil cartridges.
MC Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.
The ST-7 transformer is a perfect match for the MC Quintet Red cartridge.
LH-4000 headshell is specially recommended for MC Quintet cartridges series.
Ease of Use
Top-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminium frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.
The 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.
The Quintet Story
Nothing 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.
The MC Quintet Series is a Direct Result of Continued Research and Innovation
The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration:
- A special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing of the body. This light-weight, impact resistant material is very suitable for injection-moulding and provides a very durable scratch resistant surface.
- Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output.
- Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
It is the aim of Ortofon to bring their customers many hours of new and surprising experiences in listening to their precious vinyl collection.
Each of the Five Quintet Series Cartridges has its own Individual Sonic Expression, and all Five Models Together Represent the Ensemble of Five Classic Variations
- MC Quintet Mono is a true mono cartridge for playing mono microgroove vinyl records
- MC Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
- MC Quintet Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
- MC Quintet Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even-handed way that pays respect to all elements
- MC Quintet Black S is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

It Works!
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV
When I bought my vehicle it didn't come with a spare. I knew what I was in for. I was on my way to an important meeting and as fate would have, the tire pressure indicator reported a flat. I imagined the worst but experienced the best!
The directions said to let all the air out of tire and remove the valve stem core, it seemed like I was making a bad situation worse. Then it said to attach the tube to the stem and squeeze the contents into the tire. I thought "this is never going to work" the fluid seemed too watery to seal anything, but I followed instructions, I reinstalled the valve core and reinflated the tire, and it worked!
I expected it to leak immediately, it didn't. It lasted all day and most of the next day until I could get the tire to the shop. They removed a nail and patched the hole, overall I'm very satisfied, I bought a replacement right away, just in case!

Better than the green goo
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV (2-pack)
Recently, while I was at work, I noticed that I had at some point run over a nail with my car. Normally, you'd take your car to the tire shop and let them plug the hole for you. Well, the only problem was that the nail decided that it was going to poke my tire where the sidewall meets the tread, and most shops will refuse to plug a tire when it's punctured there. Makes sense, it's a liability issue for them, so I can't blame them. That still leaves me with the problem of having a tire with a nail in it. So, I could either replace the tire with either a new or used tire, which is expensive or I can try using a sealant to try and get as many miles out of my tire as I can.
In the past, I had tried using the green goo sealant on nail holes, and while it works to get you 15 miles down the road, that's about it. Now, while TireJect doesn't recommend using their product on punctures on the shoulder of the tire, I decided that I'd give it a try to see if it would work. And as of writing this review, it's been about 10 days since I put TireJect in my tire, and so far, it hasn't leaked any air, despite it not being meant for the shoulder. When money isn't so tight, I'll probably go ahead and replace the tire, especially since there's only about 4/32 tread depth left, but for the time being, I'll keep running it, and hopefully it keeps holding pressure properly like it has been.
Now, as for how easy it is to use, the only tools you will need that aren't provided, is an air compressor to allow you to re-inflate the tire. The kit comes with everything else you will need, including a valve core removal tool and a syringe to add the sealant to your tire. To use this product, you will first need to carefully remove the valve core with the provided tool, careful not to lose the core, since it doesn't come with a replacement core. After that, thread the hose on the syringe on to your valve stem, and then carefully add the required amount of sealant to the syringe. If you accidentally spill some, wipe it off before it dries, so that it doesn't stain anything. From there, just push the goo into the tire with the plunger, adding more to the syringe as necessary. When you're all done, re-install the valve core into the valve stem snuggly, careful not to over-tighten, and air up the tire to the recommended PSI with your compressor. After all that is done, go take a short, slow drive to distribute the sealant, and then recheck your air pressure.

TPMS Compatability is a LIE
Size: Sedan, Crossover, Small Truck
2018 Subaru Impreza, with one tire with a slow leak (about 2 PSI a week) that I couldn't trace.
I bought the "Full-Size Sedan, Small Truck, Crossover" kit (the 6 oz. pouch) based on my tire size, 225/40/18.
After I removed the valve core, attached the dispensing hose and opened the cap, the product would not flow into the tire. I squeezed the pouch, but that only made the product leak out around the valve stem onto the wheel and driveway. I tried rotating the tire so the valve stem was at the top, and and also at the bottom. I even took the wheel off so I could get a fully vertical flow. Nothing worked. I finally gave up after only about half the product was dispensed, and I do think most of it went somewhere other than in the tire.
I reinstalled the valve core, remounted the wheel, plugged in my little lighter socket-powered compresseor, and tried to inflate the tire. And ... NOTHING. The pressure reading on the compressor immediately shot up to over 100 PSI, and it automatically shut off. Tried multiple times, with the same result. I again removed the valve core, and a) no air came out of the tire when I removed it, and b) even with no valve core the compressor still would not pump air into the tire. Clearly the gunk had completely blocked the valve/TPMS.
Fortunately, when I took the tire to Costco (where I'd bought it), they were able to fix the damage I'd done, as well as patching a small nail hole in the tread I hadn't seen (that was clearly the source of the slow leak) for no charge. Since I've already submitted a refund request, ultimately all it really cost me was my time and effort ... and a whole lot of stress.

Forget the gooey stuff, this product WORKS! See UPDATES 1 and 2
Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan
I've had a slow leak in one of my tires for some time. It's a common thing with chrome plated alloy wheels, they get corrosion on the bead area where the tire seals and then you get a slow leak. This was the only product which is water soluble so it's not going to make a permanent mess inside the tire; additionally, it contains tiny bits of Tufsyn which is the material some tires are made from. So it's not just a liquid that is sealing the leak, it's tiny bits of rubber. I was putting 5 or 6 lbs of air in my tire every few days, and I could see that the tire was getting low. I installed this TireJect per the instructions a week ago and the tire appears to be doing great, despite the fact that we've had some very cold weather. (I didn't want to check it with a gauge while it was this cold out because just in case the tire's valve didn't seal all the way; I'll check with a gauge when this cold snap is past.) While I can't say for 100% sure that there is no more leak, I suspect that the leak has been sealed up completely. This is a product unlike the others and I think it's worth the price.
FIRST UPDATE: It has been two months and I haven't had to add any air at all to the tire where I used this product. There was a slow rim leak which was losing about a pound or so per day and it has been totally fixed. The car has sat for several days a few times, including in single digit cold weather, as well as driven regularly otherwise, and the tire hasn't lost any air. I think it's the micro Tufsyn fibers in this product which seal leaks better than some goopy glue stuff other brands are made of. I totally recommend this product!
SECOND UPDATE - it's been eleven months since I added this to my tire with the slow rim leak and I have not had to add air a single time. Not once. THIS STUFF WORKS. Forget the slime and foam and get this.

Should of been using this long ago
Size: Pack of 1, Style: Fuel System Treatment
I literally watch my MPG jump up .3 within one tank, my mpg count after 6000 miles was steady at around 26.5 and after using this stuff and driving around for 1 tank of gas, it jump up to 26.8. I'm literally impressed!
