The flagship cartridge of Benz Micro. Weighing in at 16 grams due to it's massive brass frame, the Benz Micro LP-S features an aged ebony wood body, micro-ridge stylus, and low mass ruby plate generator. The low mass of the plate and coil structure matches with the high mass of the cartridge body to create the perfect balance of detail and control. The LP-S is particularly regarded for it’s excellent low frequency performance, producing a focused bass response that rivals any playback device in the analog or digital realm. Properly set up on the right tonearm, the Benz LP-S offers a level of musicality unmatched at any price.
