Brand: Benz Micro
The Benz Micro MC Silver S is a high-end moving coil (MC) phono cartridge designed by renowned cartridge manufacturer Wolfgang Basedow. The MC Silver S is a successor to the highly acclaimed MC Silver cartridge, taking its design and technology to the next level.The MC Silver S features a handcrafted Boron/Cantabrire transmission system, which provides high resolution, speed, and precision. The cantilever is made of boron, a highly rigid and lightweight material that provides exceptional tracking ability. The Cantabrire conical stylus element ensures smooth and accurate tracking of grooves, resulting in a wide and deep soundstage with excellent detail and tonality.The coil wire is made of pure silver, which provides a more natural and detailed sound presentation compared to traditional gold-plated coils. The winding technique is also optimized to ensure low mechanical noise and microphonics, which is critical in MC cartridges.The MC Silver S is loaded at 0.3 ohms, which requires a matching MC phono stage with appropriate gain and impedance. It is recommended to use a high-quality premium phono stage such as the Benz Micro CI, BLA Knoop Moving Coil or Triode WT Phono Stage, to achieve optimal performance.The MC Silver S is a top-of-the-line cartridge and is recommended for audiophiles who demand the highest level of detail, accuracy, and realism in their vinyl experience.
