Notice that it's out of stock and very difficult to find currently, hence the question. I have been told that Benz cartridges have not been readily available in the US for many months now, and the US distributor has even substituted another brand of cartridges that they handle for warranty claims or trade-in value.
Good catch Bill, I didn't notice that. I wonder if Musical Surroundings, Benz's USA importer, might have some answers.
Their position is that since they are unable to get cartridges or support from Benz they are substituting Clearaudio cartridges as an alternative. Availability may be different in other regions, but there is apparently not enough production to support the US market.
Wow. I had no idea. I listen to an LP-s every morning and I had no idea what a privilege it is. To be honest, I found the cartridge hard to implement. The combination of high weight and high compliance was hard for me to tame. Thankfully, I had a lot of tonearm combinations on hand to try. Now that it's working it can be ethereal. It also finds every flaw there is to find. Some of my vinyl just isn't good enough for this cartridge.
