Seems to me retipping a cartridge is like changing the oil on your car without changing the filter. Break it out the wallet & buy a new one.
Re-tipped phono cartridges
I noticed a lot of ads for re-tipped phono cartridges are suggesting this is an improvement over the original. I respectfully disagree. Regardless of the new stylus the integrity of the original design has been compromised. Think of it as a fine Italian automobile with a blown engine. It can be fixed but is it ever truly the same?
