For Sale Benz Micro ACE MC High Phono Cartridge (MC)

Further Information

Hi Everyone, 

I'm in the process of assisting a close friend liquidate a vast majority of his Hi Fi equipment as he is transitioning into Aged Care Centre shortly and unfortunately cannot take the majority of his equipment with him to the centre.  We are currently in the process of cleaning out his apartment and have not come across any paperwork for the purchase of this item, but if we find such paper work after this advert is posted, it will be included.

My friend tells me he recalls purchasing this Benz Micro ACE MC High Output cartridge via a phone order from Caxton Audio, Paddington, Qld and had it posted to him. I have tested this Benz Micro ACE High output cartridge mounted on an SME V tonearm on a Michell Gyrodec turntable with 4x LP’s that I played and it works as expected for a great high output MC cartridge that’s had only approximately 130hrs of total use.

It comes in the original Benz Micro box and with all the associated tools.  This sale is for the cartridge ONLY, there is no tonearm or turntable. ( see my other listings if you are after a tonearm,  turntable or phono stage )
