Benz Ruby 2 vs Ruby 3

another vote for ruby 3

Ofcourse he'll say the 2 is better. If his selling the 3, what would you think he'll say? I presently own a Ruby 3 LOMC--It's a killer cart. At 3K, it better be.

Dear Glory: The Genesis advice about the Audio Note cartridges is a very good one. These cartridges are top performers and better than the people think.

Btw, the Audio Note tonearms are great too.

Now, about your question: the Ruby 2 and Ruby 3 are very good cartridges, which is better?: that depends on your music sound priorities ( what are you looking for? ) and kind of music you like. I think that if you share with us that info several of the Ruby2/3 owners could give you a precise advise.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,

I listen to mostly Jazz & Classical.
No Rock, Rap or Pop.
My goal is the Helius Omega or AN arm as the Voyd, I am told, works well with this TT.
Any other arms I should be looking at besides the Helius & AN arms?. I had a chance to get the AN S-1 Vx arm but fell asleep.
Would the ZYX airy 3 work with this set up.?. I am new to analog.

Thanks,
Gary

Dear Gary: Your analog set-up ( Helius&AN tonearms ) can handle almost every cartridge.

I like the Ruby2 and I like it with Classical and Jazz music but with your electronics the Ruby3 will be a little better.

Now, I insist in that the Genesis168 is a very good alternative. Btw, I know very well your AN speakers ( I asume you already up-graded. ), when somebody look at them it can't imagine that something so simple at the " look " can give so great quality sound reproduction, congratulations!!!

About the tonearm, the AN ones are very good, I never had the opportunity to mount one of them in my audio system but I heard it on other system and I like the design and build quality. If you can go for it.

Regards and enjoy the music.
