...actually in MY system which I am most acquainted, I found that the better the cartridge, the LESS noise. I've had a Benz LP (now I have an LPS) and it was dead quiet except for the occasional tick or pop that was a fault in my old records. I would send the LP to Benz for them to check out.
Benz Micro and background noise
Hi guys.
Pleased to read you.
I´ve got two carts: Benz Micro Ref 3 and Benz Micro LP (non LP-S) and the answer is following:
More expensive cart means more background noise? My Ref 3 sounds very, very well, but LP is better, more detailed, warm,...I love this cart. You can stand hours&hours and it doesn´t produce fatigue in your ears.
But...always exits "BUT": when I put the LP cart in my SME arm I can heard more background noise in some vinyls wich it´s impossible to heard with Ref 3. All vinyls are in very good condition: cleaned with a machine and most of them are news or japanese pressing.
Other Benz LP users says that LP is a one of the most noiseless cart that they ever heard. What´s the problem then? Probably suspension is bad and cart cannot track well? I see dust in coils:( Body of Benz´s hasn´t cover like other carts.
Somebody who has experience like me?
Thanks in advance,
L.
