Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia?


Considering purchasing a Benz Micro Zebrawood L from an Audiogon classified that ships from Asia. I’m a little nervous with it coming from Asia. Does anyone have any experience purchasing from this seller? I wish there was a Benz Micro US distributer. Ugh.

I looked at the ad, but the seller is not identified.  How do you find his identity to look up feedback?

The seller is Kron, I purchased a Benz MicroSL from him last year the sale and communication were smooth and perfect.

This seller has many hundreds of sales, go for it.

Seller may be 100%, yet clearly crossing distributor lines and such. Does seller offer warranty service?

I’ve personally purchased a few cartridges from Kron, and yes he’s excellent; the Benzes are legit and have always been perfect.

I have yet to require warranty service on any cartridge (most cartridges will either die by accident/abuse or by worn stylus after many hours), and at the cost savings you can buy another new and still be under the normal price anyways.
