Ortofon Quintet Black S Cartridge-Looking for opinions

Ortofon Quintet Black S  ....I'm seriously considering putting this this Cart on my soon to be delivered VPI Prime.

Current equipment- Parasound Halo Integrated----Martin Logan Montis speakers---Parasound JC 3 Phono Preamp

I listen to rock,blues and some Jazz.  Is the  Ortofon Quintet Black S a good choice with this setup?

I would love current or former owners of this cartridge to chime in with opinions. All input would be appreciated. I'm specifically looking for a low output moving coil cart for a VPI Prime.

Thanks in advance.

I think you made a good choice and will be very happy with the Quintet Black.  I have one in a Vinyl Nirvana-modified TD160 Super with a SME M2-9 arm and it sings beautifully. BTW, I have used it with the Parasound HINT and they worked well together.  Please do post your impressions when you have had a chance to give it a listen.
