Anybody using a Benz Micro LP-S?

Howie,

it seems that the Sumiko Palo Santos is a perfect match for our ARC REF PHONO 2....I'm thinking of buying one....

Here is the SME V spec:

Effective length: 233.15mm
Mounting distance: 215.35mm
Cartridge fixing centres: 12.70mm
Offset angle: 23.635mm
Linear offset: 93.47mm
Overhang: 17.80mm
Effective mass: 10/11g
Cartridge weight range: 4.2 to 18g
Tracking force: 0 to 3g
Weight: 720g

So Jeff,

Would you recommend a tonearm change if one goes for the LPS?

thanks
