From my private collection, this cartridge that I have treasured for a long time.

Benz Micro Ruby H MC Moving Coil Cartridge.,

This is a like new condition, sounds sweet, musical, works beautifully cartridge, excellent detail, stylus still sharp, cantilever and suspension is also in excellent condition. Used under 100 hours only.

The Ruby cartridge weighs only 9.6 grams, making it ideal for a wide range of tonearms, including today’s state-of-the-art, and vintage models lacking the energy control, bearing designs, or counter-weight range.

"This moving coil's easy tonal character highlights no single virtue at the expense of others. It's got fine harmonic, ambient, and spatial resolution, excellent tracking, sweet and mellow textures, and it plays down groove grit without a hint of concealment." - Art Prerrer, The Absolute Sound
