Benz Micro Ruby 3 MC Cartridge
Albert Lukaschek of Benz Micro and Garth Leerer of Musical Surroundings announce a new series of phono cartridges, the S Class. Led by the new flagship LP S cartridge, and joined by several Benz models, the S Class furthers the performance, selection and value of the Benz Micro line.
The continued evolution of the Benz cartridge line and the culmination of years of research and manufacturing refinements, the S Class incorporates new materials, advancements in moving coil and suspension design, and upgraded styli on the Benz Swiss hand-made moving coils.
The Ruby uses the most powerful magnet (Neodymium) used in any moving coil design and can only be used with the non-ferrous Ruby square plate as the typical iron coil design would be overloaded by the intense magnetic field.
This design resides in that rarified class of those items that can truly be called "the best." A warmer tonal balance compared to most other moving coils but still very quick and lively. This cartridge has a midrange presence and immediacy that has to be experienced first hand. Designed for the finest turntables and electronics, its performance will compare to many other more expensive, cost-no-object designs.
The low output version Ruby, at .3 mV, is best used with phono stages offering greater than 60 dB of gain, loaded at 400 ohms or higher.
This one’s a demo unit, and has low (<50) hours! It’s a nice 9/10.
The unit is currently in our store in Southern California (San Diego area).
