Nope it is not. It is the fantastic Aventurin mkVI from Stein Music. The best cartridge I have ever listened to yet.
It kind of feel strange to right such a thing but this cartridge is damn addictive.

I'm gordan.
it looks like a clone of benz micro LP in a slightly (but not much) different shaped wooden pod. a similarity between generators is striking! given the number of recent BM OEM-ed cartridges under different brand names, i would be highly surprised if this is made by someone else...

Mine arrived from Cala today - thank you Francois - great packaging and fast international delivery. Looks the muts nuts - it's just waiting for my Zyx R100 to land from Paul at RFC and then I am good to go.

Always a little further
Great stuff, Steve. I'll be interested in how you find it.

Tried it and whilst it was good I found it wasnt as good as some of the magnesium headshells that you can purchase for approx 25-30% of the cost.

In what arm, Andy? If the SME 3012 I wouldn't have thought a highly rigid headshell would be the best match.

Yep, guilty M'ludI plonked it on the end of a 3012 with rebodied denon 103. I did have an inkling that they might not work but you know as well as me that sometimes things that shouldn't work sometimes do and with stunninh results. This didn't happen.
PS Guess who's going to be trying out a certain VIDA phonostage soon.

Now that is a good move. As long as you like your vinyl ultra-clean and neutral with no tonal aberrations, fantastic dynamics and very low noise. It's one of the best pieces of kit I've bought in years.PS Guess who's going to be trying out a certain VIDA phonostage soon.
