I as well have used Soundsmith with great results on a Lyra cartridge. My process to get the Lyra back up to spec was in the $450.00 range as it was a retip as opposed to replacing a cantilever. Very nice work, a wee bit pricey, but very happy with the results.
Koetsu Rosewood retip or replace
I have an older koetsu that has been retipped by van den hull at some point( bought used w/tt).I believe it to have seen better days. My question, how do u tell and is there anyway to check wear? My turntable is a sota star sapphire
with a fidelity research fr-64fx turntable and ear 834p. MY options as i see them are:retip the cartridge again or buy a new cartridge. which would u suggest? and if a retip is done ("if possible?)who and how much can i expect to pay? my budget is $1,000. listening preferences are alternative, and classic rock and classic jazz. thanks for reading
