>>I was looking for a "budget" LOMC that does not suffer from sounding overly thin/bright or have tizzy/splashy highs on less than perfect recordings.<<
Well, less than perfect recordings, especially compressed, SHOULD sound less then perfect, especially @the freq. extremes. If you want a rounder less extended, softer type sound, generally speaking, less aggressive stylus type cartridges tend to offer less extension, but unfortunately, they exhibit the same characteristics with much better recorded material.
Of the Quintet's series, the Red is perhaps your best choice given your requirements. However, I consider the AT33 to have an even sweater/softer, more forgiving higher frequency, without roll-off.
