Benz Micro LP S microridge MC cartridge

The Benz LP S
with the micro ridge stylus is one of the highest rated moving coil cartridges
on the market today.  I leave it to the
potential buyer to read the many reviews and published information on the
internet and dealer sites.  Suffice it to
say this cartridge does it all superbly, including imaging, frequency response,
transparency, dynamic range and tracking. 
The LPS will give you every detail in the record grooves.  I purchased this cartridge new from my local
dealer in February of 2018.  It is one of
three cartridges I have in rotation, and I estimate that I have played about
200 LPs with it over the past year.  The
purchase of an Air Tight PC-1 Supreme (see photo) has led me to sell this Benz,
as despite how much I like the LP S, the PC-1 is somewhat better and I don’t
need two cartridges of this caliber. 

Benz Micro offers
a trade-in program that enables owners the opportunity to replace or upgrade
their older Benz Micro cartridge to a current, new model at significant
savings.  The current trade-in value for
this cartridge is $3,000 when traded for one of equal or greater value.  The cartridge comes in its original packaging
with instructions, technical report and the factory supplied bubble level,
screwdriver, mounting screws and stylus brush. 
Please note the serial number of this cartridge (45015) shows that it is
of much more recent manufacture than the other Benz LP S cartridges for sale on
A’gon.  

Paypal is
the preferred method of payment and I will cover the fees.  Unfortunately, due to my past experiences
with forged bank checks from A’gon buyers, payment by check or money order will
delay shipment until check clears the bank clearinghouse (10 working days)-
sorry.  Please contact me with any
questions.
