Vinyl Asylum: Benz Micro Glider MC Phono Cartridge by bonjo

The Benz Micro Glider is a very good cartridge. It has good dynamic range and great frequency response. I was suprised at how good the base was. The base has good clarity and detail. As a matter of fact, I found it to be very accurate in all areas of the sound signal. It is very sensative to. It picks up the finest detail of the recordings. Origionally I had some trouble setting it up with the MC stage of my DR-6. When I first put it on, I found that I could actually pick up local radio stations on it. After some experamenting and some good advice from some of the inmates, I got it right. The load had to be set with a 100 ohms resistor and the gain had to be set to 18 dB. Worked great after that. I've spent the last three days listening to vinyl. Satch Mo to Lou Reed. Aluminium does not compare.
