Benz Ruby 2 vs Ruby 3

Dear Gary: When I refer to the AN tonearm I'm speaking of the AN-1s model.

Regards and enjoy the music.

I am not really sure, but I think, the Ruby 3 has a shorter Cantilever ( or needle?). Anyway, the Benz Systems are good to listen to. I prefer them more than others, but they all have one in common: I always 'rated' my records with them ( ... good sounding, nice voice, audiophile grade etc. ).
I changed to different systems.
But listening to Voices, it's a class of it's own, no doubt.

Any thoughts about the Cardas Heart, newer or older, which is/was essentially a Ruby with a few holes drilled in the body?

Dear Piedpiper: For what my friend ( a Cardas dealer ) told me the Cardas Heart is right the same Ruby ( with the holes in the body )and right the same Ruby performance.

Regards and enjoy the music.
