Are these carts scarce?

if is, why?

Thanks

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.
Sonofjim.....I have an LPS and haven't had problems. I had it in a 10.5i, and now in a 3D arm and it sounds great in both (though the 3D is really special). VPI recommended a proper counterweight and there is nothing that this thing can't play.
Like Stringreen, I use my Benz LP (not S version) every day. I had it retipped by Soundsmith once already and will probably do so again within the coming year. The Benz cartridges are so good it's a crying shame that they have abandoned the US market. Surely there is enough demand to support a presence here. I just don't understand it.
I don't think it is 'demand' that has prevented Benz from supplying the US market but more likely supply! They are able to sell everything they can produce. No need for a US market!
