Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science!

I sent a Dynavector XV-1S to Steve Leung at VAS to retip. What a great experience !! 
Steve Leung will provide a few options of the boron and diamond shape with comparators so that I can understand the levels of the upgrade after the retip.

The craftsmanship is the finest. I install the cartridge at the same spot on the arm as before. That indicates the rod length and suspension compression angle are exactly same as the original.

The result of the retipped Dynavector is unbelievably good. It is like I upgrade the system. It is very detail, clear, no surface noise, full stage, pinpoint instrument layout, fully revealing voices, airy. 

Ironically, I just recently had my Koetsu Urushi re-tipped (literally, the OEM boron cantilever was NOT replaced) by Expert Stylus, in the UK.  The whole project, out from my home on the East coast USA and back, took barely a month, maybe less, and the cost was quite reasonable. I don't fully trust my own aural memory any more than I trust that of others, but to my ears it seems the Urushi with a new Paratrace stylus may be better than it ever was.  We are fortunate that there are several trustworthy and skilled practitioners of the art of cartridge repair, these days.

He took photos and videos documenting the repairs.  Prices were superb!!  

@jbhiller Did you have to request photos and video of the repair or does he do that standard?  He has one of my cartridges right now for a new body and stylus/cantilever, but did not mention this service.  How long did the work that VAS did for you take?

Ketchup, you should ask him about it.  He sent me photos and videos on completion of the job but before he shipped it out. 

Same here with VAS, pics and a couple of videos playing music and I didn`t have to request them.
