KOETSU VERMILION and audio research PH7
I ask to those who's got a 0.2mv koetsu and a 0.4mv koetsu, is there any big difference between those 2 voltages ? Do you use a big gain phono stage or do you use something like me, 58Db ?  Those who don't have those cartridges, please don't answe... 
KOETSU VERMILION and audio research PH7
I had the sonic Frontier Phono 1 with the same tubes E188CC that my PH7, you can't compare those 2 phono stage, the sonic frontier doesn't make the music that the PH7 is able to do. I also had an audio research phono ref2 and I keep my PH7. Of cou... 
KOETSU VERMILION and audio research PH7
Is there any big diiference between the 0.2mv from VERMILION and the 0.24 from ZYX ? because as It seems, Koetsu do not mesure their voltage at 3.5cm/sec , and for my PH7 the voltage of ZYX 0.24 works very fine.

KISEKI PURPLE NS your reviews....
With a simple retip, just stylus and diamond, the cartridge will never sound the same as original. Don't forget that they will cut the original cantilever, insert an aluminum little tube, insert the new stylus and glue it. The sound now is passing...

who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
I send my cartridge directely to zyx for an "official" repair and they done it because my cartridge was no more on the market and I didn't want the "ultimate" serie as I don't know them. I also had a suspension problem with another cartridge from ... 
who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
That's not correct, they can repair your original cartridge if it's no more available on the market, but the price will be the same as if you want a brand new cartridge from the new serie.

Yes But I had no answer 
who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
So after months of talking, you've got 2 options with your old zyx :- exchange with a new one ( new version)- or repair if you want to get the same cartridge if it's no more availableBoth are the same price, around 65% of the the new value
