Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science!


I sent two cartridges to Vinyl Audio Science in Cliffwood, New Jersey.

The first was an old Dynavector 20x (not the X2).  The second was a Benz Micro LPS--their top of the line.   Both cartridges unexpectedly dropped their entire cantilevers from my sight.  The Dynavector was previously re-tipped by Soundssmith.  The Benz was practically new (from someone I trust) and there was no warranty from the company.  

Steve Leung of Vinyl Audio Science personally fixed them both. 

I've only tried the Dynavector and cannot get it off my table!

Steve's service was impeccable.  Fast communication.  Fast shipping.  He packed the carts better than how I sent them out.  He took photos and videos documenting the repairs.  Prices were superb!!  

I highly recommend Steve and VAS.

Same here with VAS, pics and a couple of videos playing music and I didn`t have to request them.

I have known Steve and his son for almost 15 years. Steve was the brains behind the tonearms at VPI for MANY years. His honesty is without question. His workmanship is impeccable, and his labor prices are very fair. 

He has done at least 7 cartridges of mine from a Koestu Rosewood to various Denns and LINNs. He is also a master at rewiring tonearms with Cardas silver wire

He can put any cantilever and tip on you want...from reasonable to very expensive. He has always been there if I had questions or concerns.

AAA+++- rating

Steve recently repaired the suspension in my ZYX 4D. I sent the cartridge to him because the cantilever looked severely skewed. He said it was because the suspension became misaligned. He saved me money by doing the repair, when he could have charged me more for a new cantilever and stylus. The cartridge works perfectly now.
 

 

A couple of years ago, I sent Steve a Denon DL-S1 cartridge for a retip. This used to be Denon’s top of the line cartridge, which came with an aluminum cantilever and elliptical stylus. I had him install a boron cantilever with a micro ridge stylus. This turned out to be a winning combination, which rivals, and in some ways surpasses my ZYX 4D in sound quality. It is also better sounding than my retipped Dynavector XV1-S in my opinion. If anyone has this particular cartridge and is in need of a retip, I highly recommend upgrading with the boron and micro ridge combination. I feel like I have a $5000 cartridge at a fraction of the cost.
