Hey David, good to see you here.Since those early days, I found that the Sumiko HS-12 headshell I previously had for my Dynavector made the Benz Micro-Ace Low sound better. Of course I couldn't use the Technics overhang gauge. I have the Turntable Basics mirrored alignment gauge and that makes it easy.
You can see it in action in my McBee cartridge review:
