Personally I think that Lyra carts are better (maybe just different) then Benz. I have heard the glider and ace in a VPI acout but I prefered the Lyra Dorian. Remeber this is my opinion.
Benz Glider vs Dynavector DV-17D3 phono cartridge
I have a Townshend Rock MkIII table with a Rega 300 arm. I am currently using an older Glider high output cartridge that I need to replace. My phono preamp is the Ray Samuels Nighthawk which can accomodate a low output cartridge. I value midrange purity in voices and a lively, true to the rhythm sound. I listen to a wide range of music from symphonies to folk. I am looking at cartridges that I can secure in the $1000 range and right now am looking at the new Benz Glider or Dynavector DV-17D3 cartridges, but I am also open to other options. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
