It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Ortofon Quintet Black mc here for someone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ortofon-Q...8AAOSwkJ1e5TJz
It is the original with the boron cantilever. The later versions have a sapphire cantilever instead (Quintet Black S), due to a global shortage of boron, so Ortofon decided that the boron would be for their mc's above the Quintet Black.
I've had one of these and they were/are regarded as an mc bargain at new price and I can only agree.
Shibata stylus, boron cantilever, it is quality and a quality performer.
Detailed, smooth, balanced - think a refined upgrade over the excellent 2M Black mm.
Doubt you'd get a better mc at £425, so if you've ever wanted to try one.... Seller accepting offers as well, so this probably could be had for £400
I messaged the seller - who I do not know incidentally (he has 100% positive feedback over 995 transactions). He replied immediately as below:
Hi
Yes the Quintet Black is the first version. It s in excellent condition as I've kept it as a spare. It s been used lightly for around 50 hours so plenty of life ahead of it.

This is not 'the' Mission 774 arm. It's a 774 LC, a budget item from Japan and would normally sell for around £100.

Just looking on ebay for a few bits and bobs and came across this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thorens-T...YAAOSwW4Jd8rf- it's got the rare R version don't you know so obviously that makes it far more valuable, what a muppet
