Which cantilever to choose for re-tip


I have two cartridges I plan on having re tipped by Soundsmith. One is a Shelter 501 II, and the other is a Lyra Lydian B.
Both of these came originally with boron cantilevers. 
Is it worth the $450 each for the boron or should I go for the $350 ruby?

Why not call Ledermann and ask him about it? The carts are different enough could be one is more suited to one than the other. If anyone would know it would be him.
Just remember, it’s NOT going to be the same cartridge afterwards.

To your ears, it could be better, different,same or anything in between. It will be a glued on to the stub of whats remaining from the original.

I had a Sumiko Blackbird done with the ruby. I actually liked the presentation more than the original. I eventually crashed that one too. Moved on. My awareness to be cautious anytime I’m around the table, has grown since then.

Personally, I would save the $200, and get the ruby.
Dear @jsbail : With out doubt you must go for the boron cantilever. At the ened the manufacturer designer decided that those cartridge models gone with boron cantilever.
