Benz-Micro Silver H

The Benz-Micro Silver H comes from the Swiss workshop as a high output MC design. Its 2 mV output feeds a standard MM phono input without a step up device. The elliptical stylus tracks between 1.8 and 2.2 g with 2.0 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond goes out for retipping.

Additional Info

The Benz-Micro Silver H brings a smooth, natural voice forward within a refined, well-organized soundstage rather than leading with aggressive attack. Vocals sit rich and believable, imaging stays precise without turning clinical, and the elliptical tip on an alloy cantilever keeps tracking composed through denser passages. Jazz, vocal records and acoustic material on warmer systems suit it well. The stylus is integrated, so wear means a retip rather than a swap.
