clear favourite of the four - most open soundstage, warm timbre, most delicate details - a positive example that a big investment in your cartridge means more music, more emotion.

The conclusio after listening different titles with all of the four:

Of course more investment means better sound - a step above! Anyway take care the choosen pickups in Linz showed clear that Ortofon MC and Benz cartridges have a different sound signature. Some liked Ortofon because of their precise, straight sound - others prefered Benz - warmer, maybe more musicality - more analogue? Other vendoors of top pickups an option too...
