The Benz Ruby is a fine cartridge. Period. It was fine on my Graham arm, it was fine on Origin Live too. Arms do make a difference. Tables matter. Everything matters. But the idea you have to match the one with the other, where does this come from? Why?
Cartridge (other than Rega) with Rega RP10
I've had a Benz RubyZ with my Rega RP10 for several years now, a very nice combination. I was wondering what other RP10 owners might be using and recommend, other than the Rega cartridges.

Is there a Lyra "house" sound? A good MC cartridge must be absolutely neutral. Personally i have a phobia about cartridges with unprotected cantilever (like Lyra), it is so easy to bent! |
Thanks for your comment, chakster. I understand your point of view, but In my 45 years listening to a wide variety of audio equipment, including cartridges, I have found none to be "absolutely neutral." Every component has a different way of presenting tonality, scale, force, momentum and a variety of other aspects of music that can be described. |
@ladok this is one of the reason no one can tell you which cartridge is the best for your setup if another user setup is different, right? As for the neutrality of the cartridges it must be compared to the master tape during disc mastering process. These guys did it, read it. |
