VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

Steve at VAS did a great job on fixing my Zyx Airy 3 cartridge. 

The devil is in details. When someone using a donor (secondhand cartridge for parts) to fix another broken cartridge my question is why not just buy different fully working original cartridge (better one) instead of making Frankenstein ?  

@dangcaonguyen

 Did you have a retip done ?
How is it sounding so far ?
Thanks

Steve's a good guy.

Am I missing something here ?
You sent in a cartridge to VAS at the beginning of November and got it back in 3 weeks ??
I sent mine in at the end of June and it wasn`t done until October, how does that work ?
Seriously

I got one week turn around time. Probably depends on his work load. Plus with Covid, you never know how it could effect someones business. Most folks claim pretty fast turn around time, it seems to be the general rule.
@ scm, you sure you didn't send it to Soundsmith?  Actually that would be pretty quick for him. LOL
