But sometimes, as in the case of my 2 Transfiguration carts, they are no longer made and an aftermarket retip is necessary. Soundsmith did one for me and it sounds excellent. VAS did another one, but I haven’t installed it yet. Too bad Transfiguration went under. They were really nice cartridges. Even the less expensive ones.

Steve Leung at VAS. Rebuilt my ART9 and rewired my VPI JMW9 tonearnm. Excellent work, great communication, and fast reliable service.

I've also used Steve Leung; he's done a cantilever + stylus on both a Denon 103 and a ZYX Airy 3S, and refurbished and rewired my Triplanar II. Great work all around, easy to deal with, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

mijostyn, Your assertion is that manufacturer ''do rettipinig.'' either  of

''stylus only '' and/or cantillever/stylus combo as they buy by either 

Ogura or Namiki. But logic ''say'' that if the assertions are not true than

deduced statemnet from them can't also be true. 

Your further assertion is that THOSE are much better than those by the

so called ''repair services''.. Both your assertions are ,say, problematic.

One can get an ''new generator''  with  cantilever/stylus included which

than is gluead in ''your cart body''. Those are known as ''exchange''

possibility. However those are pretty expensive. No wonder that many try 

the ''conventional rettipers''. But they seldom do ''stylus alone'' retip..

The complete cantiver/stylus combo is much more easy to do: gluiing

the combo in the joint pipe on which back side coils are fastened.

Besides this kind of retip is twice as expensive (+/-). 

That is why I was thankful to Raul because Expert styus in UK is

not anymore attractive for E.U. people ( ''taxes'')

If the retipper which Raul mentioned is in your country you should try.

Raul is the best info provider I know. I even purchased  all MM carts which

he recommended despite the fact that I use ony MC's. 

 

What about coils repair? As far as I know only Northwest Analogue in UK

does coils but very expensive. I doscovered one in Poland. He fixed my
