Brand: Benz Micro
The Benz Micro MC Ruby 2 is a high-performance MC (moving coil) phono cartridge manufactured by the Swiss company, Benz Micro. It is the successor to the original MC Ruby and delivers even higher levels of performance and sonic accuracy. The cartridge features a low-mass, boron cantilever and an innovative, polymer nylon (Nylatron) slotted rear bearing that provides precise and stable tracking. The MC Ruby 2 utilizes a small diamond cantilever and a polygon-shaped tip that results in an excellent tracking ability and precise detail retrieval. This phono cartridge is designed to work best with high output MC phono stages or transformer-based phono stages with a high gain and low noise floor for optimal performance. The Benz Micro MC Ruby 2 is a highly regarded and sought-after cartridge by audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts who demand the highest levels of sonic quality from their analog playback systems.
