"The Benz LPS-MR is a micro-ridge stylus giving it the ability to trace the finest gradations of vinyl and bring out the slightest nuance across all frequencies. The high mass frame, fifty percent higher than its predecessor, is made of brass which gives the cartridge great stability and stillness when playing high dynamic music and lends itself to bombastic splendor. Over the frame is an ebony wood body. Ebony is a tonewood known for having a smooth even frequency response. You see Ebony wood being used, for example, on the Gibson highest model Les Paul - the Les Paul Custom, which is known for its delicate response and velvety smoothness - often chosen by Jazz guitarists."
“I don’t think we yet have developed the language to capture what the Benz itself does…of what makes it so special. The longer you listen to the cartridge—and the more it warms up—the more revealing it becomes in the sense of warmly inviting you in to listen more deeply to the textures, harmonics, and little subtleties that make up the basic foundations of the music itself.” -TAS
