You might be better off getting a new one depending on the cost. I bought a $200 Clearaudio and broke it during set up (Doh!). Its $175 to replace. I would rather spend another few bucks and get a new one, which i did. Orotofon Blue, and it sounds much better than the Clearaudio Concept MM I busted.
does a stylus retip makea cartridge as good as new
I notice quite a few cartridges being offered on Agon with stylus retips and claims that the cartridge is as good as new- or better! I thought cartridges deteriorated with age due to oxidation regardless of tip wear. I seem to remember Michael Fremer in Stereophile giving a life of about 5 years. Am I wrong?
