Little help in cartridge purchase?


First of all, I am new to the forum and have really enjoyed reading the posts.

Recently, my nephew destroyed the cantilever off my Benz Micro MC Silver and for the first time since owning the system (10 years) I have to replace it. I have a VPI HW-19 Mk III TT, Audioquest PT-6 arm, and Ensemble Phonomaster phono stage. The question is what do I buy? I'm looking at used cartridges thinking I'll get much better value. My price range is $200-$400. Right now I am most seriously concidering a used Benz Micro Glider HO. I can go MM and might concider a Clearaudio cartridge. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Buying a used phono cartridge is very risky since they are subject to wear and other damage. Since you have a Benz cartridge even if damaged it has trade-in value on a new Benz cartridge. You can even upgrade to a better model than the Silver you have.
