Someone Doug and I know also likes the Benz LP. I've owned a Glider for several years as a backup cartridge (it came with a table I once owned, so I kept it). I've not heard an LP but I sure hope it sounds better than the Glider, which it probably does based on who recommended it to me. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to hear an LP.
However, the LP is well over $4K and way over Mikeaudio's budget. IME and IMO, I would not recommend going to the lower priced Benz's unless someone had an achingly bright system.
