Benz Micro Ebony Wood LP S Class MC Cartridge 0.35mV (Free US Ground S&H)

BENZ MICRO EBONY WOOD LP S CLASS MC PHONO CARTRIDGE

The Benz Micro Ebony Wood LP S Class MC cartridge is the flagship of Benz Micro. First, and most obvious, is the new aged Ebony body which is not only visually stunning, but also influences the cartridge's sonic character. Ebony is an extremely dense and rich tone wood, when combined with the Ruby platform the result is a warm, lush sound with more controlled bass and a richer, rounder mid-bass response versus the Ruby 2. Not content to stop there, the team used new low output, symmetrical coil windings for the Ebony LP.

The original Ruby used higher output windings that were asymmetrical and while the Ruby 2 reduced coil windings, it still kept them in an asymmetrical configuration. By changing to a symmetrical coil winding pattern, the Ebony LP offers improved clarity and increased phase coherence when compared to the Ruby and Ruby 2. As a result of the reduction in coil windings, the Ebony LP is also able to offer faster dynamic and transient response than the Ruby 2. Improved pole pieces and larger magnet produce an increased output of 0.35mV. Calibration and attention to detail are raised even higher for the Ebony LP. Extra care and time are lavished on suspension fine tuning before the cartridge leaves the factory.
