@abucktwoeighty I've had a Kontrapunkt C (the father of the Bronze), a Cadenza Bronze, and also a BM Ruby 3 and LP-S. I like to listen to the Ortofons now and then, but could listen to the Benz cartridges all day. They are very different: after the smooth liquidity of the Benz carts, the Ortofons sound etched with more detail than I like. But if I listen to the latter for a few days I get used to them and appreciate their detail! They are all great cartridges, but if you have a strong preference for either warmth or detail, you will be happier with one of them.
Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black
I was hoping someone might have a little experience with one of these. I am leaning toward a bronze, as it's suppose to have a tad more bloom than the others. Also appreciated would be comparisons to other carts like Benz, Emt, Dynavector, Lyra.... While there are a few reviews, I have found limited chat in the archives here, and others. Cheers -Don
