The midrange is where the heart of the music is and a cartridge has to get this right. Like a fine tube amp, this is where the Benz Ebony L is just so beautiful. Yes, the transients are fast enough and sound very realistic, but with the Ebony L, it’s more about the timber and tone of the instruments. No, it doesn’t remove as many veils as the London Reference, but no one would ever call it veiled. In fact, I don’t think you would even notice unless you had just listened to the London Reference. I want to say again with the Benz Ebony L, the midrange is just plain beautiful and it nails the tone and timbre of music.
