The one cartridge that definitively hands-down beats the Ruby 3H in my system is the Accuphase AC-2 (a ZYX creation from the 1980's).The MM's that come very close, but lack a little bit in terms of fine detail are a line of ADC's that appear to also be ZYX creations from the same time period, the TRX's. All three have vanishingly low distortion and track much more cleanly than the Benz as well.
In the past, I noted that the Accuphase wasn't quite as good as the Benz (.7mv output) in my system. However, I recently discovered that this was more an issue with my Melos reference phono running out of steam with this .18 mv cartridge, than the cartridge itself. I now have a phono that sounds much better when tackling ultra low output cartridges and the AC-2 really stand out as a superb cartridge in every way possible.
cheers,
