Cartridge re-tipping service: worth it?


A while back I saw an ad for a cartridge re-tipping service and was wondering if anyone has used this type of service and what your impressions were. I've got a Grado Reference which might be a candidate....

Easily worth it compared to the cost of a new cartridge.

I brought both my fidelity research cartridges back to life by sending to Mr. Van den Hul. He did a fantastic job and both sound great, plus I get to keep the cartridges that blew me away in like 1980.

I bought a broke Ort Kontrapunkt B and sent it to soundsmith recently as I have heard that he does great work.

Have a couple years on my vdh fr's and they still sound and track great.

Have Fun!
