Wonderful! Benz is an excellent cartridge, you can see pictures of the Ebony on my Rega / Basis in my vintage system page. Glad you made it thru Covid !
happy new year

Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
Mounting on a Shure DME 3009 S2 improved with a Thorens TD125 Mk2.
presently using Ortofon 2M black through Musical surroundings Nova III phono stage and linear power supply. This was s major step up from the Grace F7 ruby that came with the TT/TA.
considering a step up and for various reasons I’m leaning towards one of those two cartridges.
Tonearm effective mass, compliance, resonance all check out.
Anyone with enough experience with either/both cartridges to offer sn informed opinion? I’m all ears.
thanks.

Fantastic you found the Benz Micro Glider SL. Just to try out more carts, Benz has recently been high on my ‘interest list’. I’m constantly looking for a good deal for a used one on-line. Would love one in my collection, just to have and check-out. Heck, enjoy the Glider before making another decision. From a cart builder at Soundsmith I chat with occasionally, he is quite high on the Glider, and thinks it is a great deal for the money. He is not easily impressed, as he has built and repaired so many carts (including Soundsmith Strain Gauge carts), but Benz does impress him for their quality. Enjoy |
@audiosaurusrex , what is the Hana trade up policy? |
@thetakeout I believe it is half the value. I wound up just selling my SL and purchased the Umami from a great dealer who sold me my turntable in Alabama engulfaudio. Robert Meeks is wonderful to work with and will not overcharge you. He just loves people that love music. |
@audiosaurusrex thanks for the reply. I have a buddy that recently got the Umami. I haven’t heard it yet but I know he is very happy with it. hana seems like they make products that are easy to love. thanks again for the reply on the trade in they do. |
