Angeboten wird „LPS“ von Benz Micro als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer MC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9490177809 endet am 23.09.2026 um 10:29 Uhr.
Compared with the obvious alternative at this level, this sits slightly below the market median and looks like a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal. With recent comps centered at €1,394 and a lower quartile of €1,348, the €1,300 ask lands just under the typical range, which is enough to make it attractive without being a bargain-bin outlier.
That’s a sensible entry for a Benz Micro moving-coil that’s well regarded for fine detail, stable imaging, and a refined, low-fatigue presentation when it’s set up properly. In good condition, the main upside is simple: you’re paying a touch under the crowd for a cartridge that can still deliver serious resolution and musicality if the stylus and suspension are healthy. Make sure the tip wear, hours used, and mounting history are clearly documented.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Benz Micro is a Swiss hi-fi brand best known for phono cartridges. It traces its roots to the 1980s, when Ernst Benz founded the company and began building a reputation for precision cartridge design. The brand later came under the stewardship of Albert Lukaschek, and production has remained centered in Switzerland, where Benz Micro emphasizes hand-built manufacturing and careful finishing.
Its core product line is moving-coil phono cartridges, with some historical references to earlier moving-magnet and stylus-related work. Benz Micro is not an all-round electronics brand: it does not primarily compete in amplifiers, speakers, DACs, or headphones, but rather focuses on the analog front end for turntables and tonearms. That specialization is part of its identity and appeal.
In the market, Benz Micro sits firmly in the high-end, niche-boutique category. It is widely regarded among analog enthusiasts as a serious cartridge maker, valued for detail, refinement, and musicality. It is not a mass-market label, and its products are aimed at knowledgeable vinyl buyers seeking premium Swiss-built performance.
