Decades of experience, cooperation with famous experts like A.J.Van den Hul and precision Swiss engineering meet in the Benz Ruby, resulting in a cartridge that establishes a new benchmark for music reproduction from LP records. The core of the coil, i.e. the heart of the system, is made of a ruby jewel. Thus we were able to reduce the moving mass to half of that conventional system and eliminate any losses caused by less than perfect reversibility of the magnetic flux. The body, machined from precious Bruyere wood, with a carefully designed open bottom reduces resonance to zero. Alll this may sound very tempting, but hearing is better than reading. So arrange for listening session with your high end studio. Take your time to relax and enjoy the music.
