eBay

Hi and welcome to this auction for an extremely rare Moving coil amplifier from Swiss legend Benz Micro . I have only ever seen one of these sold on e Bay in the last 10 years and Google search finds nothing.

So how good is it ? Well from my Pink Triangle Anni with Dynavector DV17 D3 it grabs a lot of detail from the disc and is very musical.

Supplied with a 9V battery and lead but i've had good results with DC power supply too using Ifi  power 9 V transformer

Solid state step up devices have advantages over transformers (where some of the cartridge output is used to energise the coils of the transformer) resulting in muddy base response although the very best transformers claim to have sweet mid band. I have always preferred solid state types personally but then I like nice tight base response.

here is an article explaining advantages of solid state MC pre amps over transformers.

Latest generation ones from Benz Micro are silly money and I cant believe they would be much better than this version.
