Hey Oleschool, you mention your Benz is about 10 years old. Have you looked into re tipping or even a rebuild/upgrade? Sometimes people decide they need a new cart but what they want most is the sound they remember from when the unit was young.
vpi classic
First hello everyone ,I've been away awhile .
I'm interested in upgrading my cartridge a Benz micro mc, my system is a moderate system by gon standard.
VPI classic jmw memorial arm ,Acoustic Zen adagios, Sunfire subs ,Nu Vista integrated, Musical Fidelity phono amp mc or mc with multiple mc settings . Acoustic Zen cables and speaker cables in a acoustically treated dedicated room (16'x24' x10') .with more digital gear, but this is my analog section.
I am willing to spend up to say $1,500 ,but much to many here's discomfort I would spend up to say grand on a used cartridge from a solid gon member . I know so many here swap them like tic tacs . I know the routine of fears with buying used , that said I have made some great scores here. I'm looking for weight compatabilty ,sound and overall performance for the money.
Thank you all
Ray

jjss49 sell me one lol |
tablejockey I understand on the phono section( musical fidelity mxvynl),I purchased it because it had a variable mm/mc gain which I liked .I think it was like 1200bks for whatever thats worth lol. I do like to adjust the gain to hear difference and find the cartridge I was going to settle in with then swap it . what are you thinking as a reasonable upgrade if I get the art 9 |
