The Benz Micro cartridge company has been reconfigured and are back in the business of producing ultra fine hand made Swiss phono cartridges. This Zebra Wood model replaces the older Legacy Wood model. The original version of Wood models featured a nude line contact shaped stylus. This stylus shape is very quiet in the groove and will ride deeper than other shapes, rejecting a lot of surface noise than others. The last version of the Wood model changed to a Micro Ridge (MR) stylus shape that in my experience (on a Shure V15 Type 5) revealed higher levels of surface noise. This latest Zebra model returns back to the nude line contact shape stylus for superior surface noise rejection.This is the low output version 0.4mV.This is a new Benz Micro Cartridge just introduced in 2020.
