Benz RubyZ vs. Gullwing?

I understand the Benz situation and have no problem waiting if I trade up. Happy to keep the Gullwing until they get it together. I'm in good shape as my Benz is only 3-4 months old. Any thoughts on the differences between the two cartridges?

No direct comparison, but a highly respected Dr. once told me the Benz LP and Ruby Z are related close to the Gullwing and offer a warmer sound while the Gullwing presents a faster pace.

I own both; an LP S and Ruby Z, they are probably the only cartridges I will
Continue to buy, or retip.

I would suggest you go direct to German dealers and see what they can do
for you.

Audioquest4life,
Thanks, sounds like the Z might be a happy medium between the LP-s and Gullwing. Have sent out emails to see if I can find one.

That is exactly how I would describe the Z. Good luck.

I upgraded my Benz Wood low output to the low output Ruby Z S class. The improvement across the board was substantial.

After some hours I was getting a sense that the overall presentation has changed. After some reading it seems the new S-class do have a slightly different presentation.
