Upgrade from a Benz Micro Ace SH
Hey all,
I don't know if this is possible, but what would be a good upgrade - to any degree - from my existing - and very aging - Benz Micro Ace SH cartridge? I'm running it with a VPI HW-19 Mk 4 tt through a Jolida JD 9 Mk 2 phono pre, into an LSA Statement integrated. Speakers and cables are Acoustic Zen.
I listen to a wide range of styles and artists, though focus mainly on singer-songwriter and jazz, with the occasional rock out with Rush or M83 or similar artists.
My budget is $800. Cartridge can be MC or MM; I've never heard an MI cartridge, a la Soundsmith, but am not averse to trying if it fits.
Thank you
