Description

BENZ MICRO ACE S CARTRIDGES

Read more about the Benz Micro Ace S Cartridge here.

Conceived in 1996 as the most affordable Swiss hand-made moving coil phono cartridge, it took 5 years and a new factory to deliver the Advanced Cartridge Engineering (ACE) in 2001.

Now the S Class models of the ACE SL (red), SM (clear), SH (blue) ($900 MSRP) all incorporate the Benz Micro Ridge stylus for the best performance/value ratio in phono cartridges, regardless of output level.

The ACE SL is .4mV at 3.54cm/sec with a coil impedance of 12 ohms, perfectly suited for MC phono stages with 60dB or higher gain. The SM is .8mV and 24 ohms, designed for less efficient systems and tube phono stages with gain between 45 – 58dB.

The ACE SH (2.5mV at 3.54cm/sec) is among the best high output moving coils ever made, ideal for moving coil type phono stages, low-gain tube phono stages and AV systems. Music lovers can take advantage of industry leading programs in upgrading previous Benz Micro models or other brand cartridges to the new ACE S Class.

Specifications:

Output Voltage: (3.54 Cm/sec) 2.5 (ACE SH), .8 (ACE SM), .4 (ACE SL)
Stylus Shape: Micro Ridge
Internal Ohms: 90 (ACE SH), 24 (ACE SM), 12 (ACE SL)
Loading Range: >1,000 (ACE SH), >240 (ACE SM), >120 (ACE SL)
Weight: 8.8 grams
Compliance: 14 (ACE SH), 14 (ACE SM), 15 (ACE SL)
Tracking: 1.6 – 1.9 grams
Warranty: 2 years

SL low output .4mV at 3.54cm/sec with a coil impedance of 12 ohms, perfectly suited for MC phono stages with 60dB or higher gain (Red)

SM medium output .8mV and 24 ohms, designed for less efficient systems and tube phono stages with gain between 45 – 58dB. (Clear)

SH high output 2.5mV and 12 ohms, ideal for MM type phono stages, low gain tube phono stages and AV systems. (Blue)

    DS Audio Vinyl Ionizer

    £1,749.95
    The ION-001 is a very high-power device, equipped with a total of 4 ionizers, 2 each for positive and negative ions. The ION-001 utilizes a specialized power supply controller which suppresses the generation of excess ozone, preventing unwanted oxidation. Vinyl records have a surface static electricity charge created by friction. Two common sources of that friction is stylus drag as well as simply removing records from their jacket and sleeve. The ION-001 effectively neutralizes and removes static electricity and our unique "fan less" design allows for silent operation. Simply position the ION-001 next to your turntable and switch on when playing an LP.

Chasing The Dragon’s first “Direct Cut” album was of the Interpreti Veneziani performing a wonderful version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. When chatting with Paolo, the orchestra’s organizer, CTD discovered the group had never taken part in a ‘live’ recording. They have always performed in the San Vidal Church which is in the Academia area of Venice. The acoustics in the church are outstanding. So after some discussion with the orchestra, they were convinced to record a live double album there. This would mean that a small crew would have to go to Venice and record 5 live concerts. It’s a dirty job, but somebody had to do it! The jump factor of this album really has to be heard!
