It seems that Analogue Seduction has a great buy on the Benz Micro Gold and Silver. They are $346.90 dollars. They sell for $600 at the Needle Doctor. The bad part is they don't ship to the States. If they did I would have one on the way. If anyone is looking to try Moving Coil this is a great buy. The Gold is low output and the Silver is high output. Just thought I would pass it on. It's nice to find a great deal once in awhile. I hope someone can take advantage and get a nice cartridge for a good price.

Hi Sturgus,
Audio Emotion have these listed at the same price as Analogue Seduction at £275.
Not sure if they ship over the water but might be worth asking.
