Benz Micro Ruby Z equivalent Ruby H cartridge for sale

Good news! Benz Micro cartridges are again available from select dealers who are said to be favoring current Benz owners. Therefore, you should become a current Benz owner! For sale is a used Benz Micro Ruby H ($3000 retail new) medium-output (0.68mV) moving coil phono cartridge. This was the higher-output equivalent of a Ruby 2, which was superseded by the Ruby 3 which was replaced by the current model, known as the Ruby Z (0.35mV output).  The item for sale was used by me for several years, then removed from service in order to trade in for a new Z. Unfortunately, new ones were unavailable at the time and I moved to another cartridge brand.

Now Benz Micro cartridges are back in production. This Ruby H is worth $1200 trade-in toward a new Ruby Z (retail $4800) and worth $1500 toward a Benz LP.  It comes with all original packaging (bubble level, mounting screws, screwdriver, test measurements, etc.) This cartridge DOES play and sounded quite good when I removed it from my tonearm two years ago. However, it was played for at least 5-6 years and I cannot vouch for the condition of the stylus. Consider this primarily a trade-in or gamble on it working for a while until you can trade up.
