cartridge repair....repair service center needed

Dear nandric, thank you for the information.  After my recent and long foray into MM land I would like to revisit the land of the MC. I have, among others, a Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 which is in need of a new tip; no other problems that I am aware of.  This was was a favorite and which I preferred even over my VanDen Huls.  I will contact “Expert Stylus” for advise.  Regards.

I've had two cartridges done by sound-smith.com  both came back sounding like the cartridge did new. One went 2 years before i sold it and was still fine. The other is at 1.5 years and sounds wonderful. 

Andy at the Needle Clinic replaced a sheared off cantilever from my vintage Koetsu Rosewood and the repaired cart was better than new (boron cantilever/mirco line stlyli). Andy knows whats he's doing.

Dear @frogman : For stylus tip only Needleclinic is what you need. Your ZYX relatives si a good design. I owned the Genesis 1000 and the 2000 and for me the 1000 is a little better.

Better than VDH?, well that depends of the VDH model. If you own the Colibri I think that the Monster can't outperforms it but.......

Regrads and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Thanks for the suggestion, Raul. Do you have a reason(s) for recommending Needle Clinic over Expert Stylus for a new tip? Btw, I don’t agree re the two Monsters. I too owned both and find the 2000 to be considerably more refined and better in just about every parameter that matters to me. Yes, better than the VDH’s that I have owned: MC1S, Frog, Grasshopper. Regards.
