[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 1187328, member: 689"] The “liveliness” is probably a mix of the whole package - a very cable deck, arm, and the advantage of an MC cart, even if high output. It seems like you have your answer on the deck! Apologies, my research wasn’t thorough, the Benz is, even as an entry level cart at the time, a better overall proposition than the 2M Red. The 2M Blue is a closer competitor to the Benz… this from ChatGPT: “[I]The Ortofon 2M Blue is more versatile, easier to maintain, and better suited for a wide range of users.

If you’re looking for detail and tonal depth, the Benz might win; for practicality and wide compatibility, the Ortofon 2M Blue is the better choice.[/I]” Just reading your earlier responses, the Benz seems like your most likely friend for a while, until you’re ready to upgrade to something that will give a meaningful upgrade in performance. The 2M Blue seems like a sideways move, at best… [/QUOTE]
