This has not been played since Benz did the retip. Not a lot of hours. Tip was damaged so suspension is like new. One of the best sounding cartridges ever made.
See 6moons review and specs.
I looked over at my friend while these two selections were playing. He had his eyes closed and was evidently transported right outa here. At the end of the last number he opened his eyes, looked over at me and uttered one word - spectactular. This pretty much summed up my feelings about this cartridge.


For the Benz LP-S to capture this level of excitement speaks volumes about its ability to communicate the essence of music. Needless to say, the stellar dynamic performance is a crucial element. What's equally impressive is that the wonderful tonal balance of this cartridge remains intact even during the loudest musical climaxes. Even when a blaring trumpet section entered on big-band records or a soprano soloist belted at fortissimo there was no need to recoil or jump up to turn down the volume. The Benz played through difficult passages like these with utter confidence and control.  This was unprecedented in my experience.
