You can earn loyalty points on every order you place on this website. If you select to create an account at checkout, your loyalty points will be saved and you can use these to discount future orders online.
Each product page shows you how many loyalty points you can earn when you order that item. Essentially, for each £1 you spend, you earn 1 loyalty point and for every 1 point earned, 1p will be added to your loyalty point balance (this is the same as some of the UK's biggest loyalty point cards). So for example, if you spend £500, you'll earn 500 loyalty points which can be used to discount a future order by £5.00.

Description
The Ortofon MC Quintet Red is a new entry level Moving Coil cartridge, offering a taste of high-end Moving Coil performance but at a more affordable price point than has previously been available. This cartridge has very high price-to-performance ratio, performs as an all-rounder and is an ideal entry into the world of Moving Coil cartridges.
The MC Quintet Red features an elliptical stylus, which offers sonic advantages over spherical designs, as it is more similar to the shape of stylus used to cut the master discs, and therefore can track the record’s grooves more accurately and reveal more musicality and detail from your music collection.
