Unleash the Power of the Shibata Stylus
Let’s dive deeper into what makes the Nude Shibata diamond stylus a standout feature. Its slim, highly polished profile allows for an incredibly wide contact area with the groove walls.

Whether you’re spinning classic rock or smooth jazz, the Quintet Black S ensures that your records sound their absolute best.
Meet the Sapphire Cantilever
What’s the secret behind the Quintet Black S’s superior sound? It’s all in the Sapphire cantilever. This material is not only lightweight but also incredibly stiff, which means it can transfer vibrations from the stylus to the coil system with minimal loss. The result? A sound that’s both detailed and pure, giving you a listening experience that feels like you’re right there in the studio with the artists.
