Getting a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua rebuilt

Hello,
My Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua seems to be producing some distortion in one channel. I have always babied this cartridge but it is about seven years old now, so perhaps it needs a rebuild. Does anybody have any idea what it would cost to have the cartridge rebuilt? What is the procedure?

Regards,

Larry

I'd contact Dynavector and SoundSmith. It may be you need a rebuild or it could be a retip is all you need.

SoundSmith has a great reputation. There are purists who will say that you will no longer have a pure Dynavector cart. And that may be true. But I have never seen a complaint from someone about the sound of the SoundSmith retyped or rebuilt carts. Check with SoundSmith on whether they recommend retyping or rebuilding. Only major downside is the wait: 10-12 weeks is what I was quoted. Only 4 more weeks to go to get my XX-2 rebuild...
