Sme v with chord signature cable into a Whest phono stage and Hegel amp .Benz Micros are excellent cartridges, but the MC Anna is something else!
The Anna does have more of a rise in treble output than most Ortofons, so shouldn’t sound too soft compared to a Benz. These tend to have a more pronounced lift in treble output so sone cartridges can initially seem a little dull sounding in direct comparison, but this shouldn’t be the case here.
I’d say go for it, depending on what turntable/arm you’re using. If it’s an RB-330 then the Anna might be a bit overkill!
The Benz LPs is a fantastic cartridge very organic sounding everything sounds real takes a few hours to bed in but what a cartridge the lp is good but not as good, I found the Anna when looking at possibly getting another lps as regretted selling it. I like the Anna so far but if I ever got rid of it , it would be to get another LPS , if I were to purchase a new cartridge it would also be an LPS. I can also recommend fully the chord signature tuned tonearm cable with an sme v great combo .Wish I had some experience of Ortofon's but current Benz LPS user with an SME V and Allnic 1500 II plus phono and a very happy chappy .
