I've just read the responses to my thread. and thanx BTW,
I noticed that I forgot to type in MKII in the title.
From what I could find out about the re-tipping experience from other threads;
It never sounds the same, understanding the mechanics of the procedure, size of the materials and such. I was hoping for it to be a simple matter of just mailing it back to Dynavector, paying for the work, and wait for it's return, and voila! good as new. Planned obsolescence I guess.
On entirely different matter, I bought the Delos, a 26 year difference between the two cartridges.
On my first impressions, I found the Delos quite close to the 17D2. fast, articulate, clear detailed, dynamic, flat and such ect, ect. The only significant difference was a slight clarity in favor of the Delos.
Two different methods of mechanical philosophies, the Dynavector with its short diamond cantilever, the Delos with its "pre-angled dampers".
I'm happy with both. I'm just having a hard time on giving up on the 17D after soo many years of bliss.
