SoundSmith-Benz trade-in program

I had to spread some news...

SoundSmith has added a Benz trade-in program towards three of their MI cartridges.

I spoke with Peter Ledermann recently and I found out that SoundSmith is now accepting working used/worn Benz cartridges as trade-ins towards three of SoundSmith's top performing moving iron cartridges. Peter is giving big discounts towards the Hyperion, Paua and The Voice cartridges.

These are some great cartridges and if you own a worn Benz cartridge it could be a way to get into a fine SoundSmith cartridge.

Personally, I would love to take advanatge of this deal but I do not own a used Benz.

I hope this help someone out,

Because Benz is out of business, at least that is the rumor I heard from my dealer. Also if you check needle doctor there are no more price posted for Benz cartridges just a message "call for price".

I am in no way an authority on this matter but it would be interesting to hear if someone could confirm this rumor.

I am not sure if Benz is out of business or not, but no new stock is coming in and dealers have no idea when to expect inventory.

That's just not true. Benz is alive and well and I have just received new stock from them.
