Ortofon Quintet Black S Cartridge-Looking for opinions

Coincidently, a Prime owner is considering the same cart, on the amp forum. That cart appears to be one of those "can't go wrong"
models depending on your personal tastes.

As far as a "music genre specific" model, I think some carts are simply more dynamic and less veiled than others. In the end, its subjective and your ears.

If you haven't read  already, the AT ART9 thread is quite active  and there are Prime  owners with positive results.

I can't imagine bothering with any other cart in the 1k category. My ART 9 is nearing 2 years. Unless I get into a 10k+ table, then I would splurge on something 3K+. Reality-not happening unless
my ENTIRE system was proportionally upgraded$$$$

The Soundsmith MI carts are another "can't go wrong" line.

Being a VPI dealer, I've put more Quintet Black's on Primes then any other cart.  To me, it's a very good match.

I think with your musical tastes, you would find the Q Black a nice cart.

I appreciate the above opinions...Thank You. 

goldprintaudio.....your comments were exactly what I was looking for. I want a good match up with the Prime. SoundstageDirect told me the same thing....its reassuring to hear it from another dealer.
