Ciao, ho chiesto chiarimenti sull'acquisto della nuova cartuccia.  
Ho un giradischi P******t 2xperience con pre-phono Graham Slee Reflex M.  
Ho pensato di scegliere tra questi tre testimoni: Sumiko Songbird, Benz Micro Ace S, DYNAVECTOR DV-20 X2, ovviamente tutti ad alto rendimento.  
Grazie.

As long as you go for the high output versions of the cartridges you'll be fine.
The high output versions are intended to be run into MM preamps, which the Reflex M is.

If you go for the low output versions you'll need some kind of step up device, whether that be a GSP Elevator or a SUT.

I hope this helps Smile

Sorry, I ask the question in English.

Hello, I asked for clarification on the purchase of the new cartridge. 

I have a P******t 2xperience sb turntable with Graham Slee Reflex M pre-phono. 

I thought to choose among these three testitne: Sumiko Songbird, Benz Micro Ace S, DYNAVECTOR DV-20 X2, obviously all with high output. 

Thanks.

And your question is?

All three cartridges are suitable for use with a Reflex M.

Translation
my question is: which one is considered better is more suitable for my system?

They're all good cartridges.

The Sumiko is a scary proposition with regard to general fitting - that nude generator, and there not being a stylus guard make installing the cartridge something not for the faint hearted.
For this reason alone I'd say no to the Sumiko.

Of the other two I'd pick the Benz.
Its recommended maximum tracking force is less than the Dynavector.
It weighs less than the Dynavector.
I think it would work better with the relatively low mass of the carbon fibre arm on your deck.


Sono tutte buone cartucce.

Il Sumiko è una proposta spaventosa per quanto riguarda l'installazione generale: quel generatore nudo, e non essendoci una protezione dello stilo, installare la cartuccia non è qualcosa per i deboli di cuore.
Solo per questo motivo direi di no al Sumiko.

Tra gli altri due sceglierei il Benz.
La forza di tracciamento massima consigliata è inferiore a Dynavector.
Pesa meno del Dynavector.
Penso che funzionerebbe meglio con la massa relativamente bassa del braccio in fibra di carbonio sul ponte.
