dcaudio Contact me and email me a few pictures of your cartridge. I have worked with Van Den Hul cartridges before. I have a VDH Frog that I retipped with boron line contact.
Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge
I bought vdH Grasshopper cartridge in 1985. With integrated head shell.
I have retipped twice in the Netherlands. First time, they sent back the regular version that mounts in a head shell.
Now we are at 3rd time. The tip fell off, after I used a stylus cleaning liquid. BTW - no warning that cleaning liquids dissolve the glue between cantilever and tip. Now I am back again for fixing it.
Should I send it in for retip and suspension, close to $ 1,000 or is it time to get something new.
I would really like to stay below $ 1,000. Turntable Oracle Delphi, tone arm ET-2 linear tracking.
