Närmast klassisk (nu utgången) MC-pickup från Benz Micro, ACE L (low output) i mycket fint skick, säljes för 3000:- Spelad max 100 timmar, har legat i lådan sedan jag slutade med vinyl för ca 8-9 år sedan!

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Its core product line is moving-coil phono cartridges, with some historical references to earlier moving-magnet and stylus-related work.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.
