Back to the original post - The original poster didnt indicate if the cantilever was still intact. I think that makes a difference as I prefer boron to ruby. I was in a similar situation but it was only my stylus that was worn with an intact cantilever. I sent it to Andy at the Needle Clinic and had a micro ridge stylus + a new suspension damper installed. Turn around was about two weeks and its now breaking in. I like what Im hearing and would do it again.
If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone
Else retip it. From my understanding with the distributor Benz is about 12 to 18 months behind on retipping. Would you let someone in the United States retip it for you. The dealer and the distributor both say it won't sound the same If Benz doesn't retip it. But who wants to wait all that time for a retip. Who in the states has retipped you're Benz cartridge that you have been happy with?
