Tried closeups with iPhone 13, this is as good as it gets. This IS like new - although eBay doesnt allow that to be in the ad line anymore. I bought this about 2 years ago, waited MONTHS for it while I got COVID, spent over a month sick as a dog, pneumonia, etc., and by that time had totally forgotten I had ever bought this, much less the Benz Micro Glider SL MC cartridge it mounts on. Put everything aside somewhere while I regained my health. About a year ago I was asking about upgrading an Ortofon 2M Black and someone mentioned the Benz Micro and a little light went on. I dug around in a box of stuff and there were the cartridge AND this wonderfully engineered little ebony wood cover/body for the thing. Benz Micro sells several similarly wood-clad cartridges that sell like girl scout cookies curbside to a cannabis dispensary, but, as they say (whoever THEY are), to each his own, one mans poison is another mans pleasure and mine were always the Samoas. SO, if youve been watching ads for this from the original seller, know that its a VERY nice piece of art and it works, adding a certain depth and mild resonance dampening you need to hear. Not a BAD thing, just different. No installation instructions included but the maker does have a link to a Youtube video explaining how to mount it without damaging the very delicate armature of the Glider. This IS solid, no cracks/defects, screws ARE included. Sorry, no returns unless it doesnt fit YOUR Benz Micro Glider. Just let me know within 24 hours of delivery to your door, return at your expense AS SOLD (no dings, dents, cracks, scratches or other damage) and Ill refund what you paid for it, but NOT postage either way. This always seems more than fair to me. YMMV. Void where prohibited by lawfare.

Having owned 2 Benz Gliders prior, this is simply a back up cartridge that has never been out of the box and has been stored in a plastic sealed sleeve in my record closet. I have had my Gliders in a Moerch DP6. It is very compatible with most good arms. The cartridge tracks superbly and is compatible with most step-ups and moving coil preamps. The sound is why I have enjoyed it so much. It is a neutral balance yet expressive and involving. It is very capable with jazz and rock and the female voice is reproduced incredibly as is piano. My musical taste is extremely broad yet the Benz delivers. You would have to spend 3X this to get even close in sound, flexibility and quality. It is Swiss...nuff said!

Ich verkaufe hier ein defektes Benz Micro Glider SH mit MR Diamant. Beide Kanäle funktionieren nicht. Der Tonabnehmer ist aber bis dahin gut gelaufen. Ich gebe keine Betriebsstunden an, da ich es auch gebraucht gekauft habe. Zum Reparieren ist es aber eine sehr gute Basis. Der Tonabnehmer ist sehr sauber. Es ist eine High Output-Version mit 2,5 mV / 3,54 cm/s und kann nach der Reparatur direkt an den MM Eingang am Verstärker angeschlossen werden. Natürlich kann dies durch Neuwicklung der Spulen geändert werden. In der Schweiz gibt es leider kein Support mehr für diese Tonabnehmer, doch in Deutschland gibt es auch sehr gute und günstige Lösungen. (z.B.: Techne Audio) Originalverpackung inklusive Messschrieb und Datenblatt. Keine Garantie und Umtausch da Privatverkauf.

Ich biete hier dieses MC Abtastsystem Benz Micro Glider L2 an. Ich habe von einem Bekannten einen Linn LP12 Plattenspieler gebraucht gekauft, der fast 10 Jahre unberührt im Regal stand. An dem Plattenspieler befand sich dieses Benz Tonabnehmersystem. Die Nadel hat sicher viele Stunden gelaufen, ist vorhanden und tastet auch noch ab, man hört es wenn man das Ohr im Bereich des Sytems auf der Schallplatte hält. Leider kommt kein Signal aus den Lautsprechern, trotz unter Verwendung des MC-Vorverstärkers. Ich wollte es nicht zur Reparatur einschicken und habe mir ein neues Abstastsytem eines anderen Herstellers gekauft. Deshalb biete ich das Benz System als defekt an! Folgende Werte zu dem Benz Micro Glider L2 konnte ich recherchieren. MC Low Output Ausgangsspannung 0,4 mVGewicht 6,8 gr.Auflagekraft 1,7 - 2,0 grams Impedanz 12 ohms Verpackt wird das Benz Micro Tonabnehmersystem in Luftpolsterfolie und stabilem Karton. Der Versand geht innerhalb Deutschlands für 5,50 Euro, versichert und Sendungsnummer mit DHL EU: 14,00 Euro (DHL incl. tracking / insurence) Great Britain + Schweiz: 17,50 Euro (DHL incl. tracking / insurence) Restworld: 22,00 Euro (DHL incl. tracking / insurence) Dies ist ein Privatverkauf, deshalb schließe ich jegliche Garantie und Gewährleistung nach EU-Recht aus. Der Artikel wird so wie er ist von privat verkauft und der Bieter erklärt sich mit der Abgabe eines Gebotes ausdrücklich damit einverstanden. Am 14.05.23 hat der Verkäufer die folgenden Angaben hinzugefügt: EVENTUELL NEUER WICHTIGER HINWEIS! Wie ich mittlerweile von einem aufmerksamen Beobachter erfahren habe, scheint der Defekt wohl an den fehlenden dünnen Kupferdrähtchen als Verbindung zu den Spulen zu liegen. Eine Garantie zu diesem Hinweis kann ich natürlich nicht geben. Trotzdem werde ich jedem Interessenten die Chance geben dieses sehr gute Abtastsystem zu einem eventuell günstigen Preis zu ersteigern.

Benz Micro Glider SM cartridge In original cartridge box with brand new boron cantilever and Paratrace diamond by The Expert Stylus company. I havent even opened the seal on the box since receiving the cartridge back from The E.S.C I broke the original stylus and I am too scared I might do it again! Im gonna purchase a much cheaper moving magnet. The E.S.C. advise the cartridge will sound better than ever. Please feel free to ask them yourselves. Note the invoice shows it is the SL Glider. It is not, It is the SM - medium output version. Note that the measurement sheet is the original when I bought the Benz - I am just including it for its history. 100% feedback.
