Just read Art Dudley on some mono carts again last night, and surprise, Benz Micro says they re-position the armature in their mono-version carts to neutralize up-down signal....They basically rotate the armature that usually forms an "X" to read both sets of 45-degree modulation until it forms a "+" and then utilize only the side-by-side elements, ala Helikon Mono, to gather lateral mono signal. Clever. And Dudley says he can verify that up-down info has been eliminated via this manufacturing tweak.
So I guess the Benz line is back in the credibility column again....

ps, I think that article is still avail at the SPhile site, and I think it's "listening #30".
