103r Stylus replacement?

Brf is right! I had a retip done on a Technics MC310 and it changed in entire character of the cartridge. Not in a bad way but it is different.

There is an excellent chance that the sound will be significantly altered from the original if the cantilever or dampers/suspension are changed.

Replacing the stylus only will alter the sound by a far lesser degree.

Try Andy at www.phonocartridgeretipping.com  I like the SMR Sapphire cantilever with Micro Ridge diamond. With that and a paradoxpulse body I rate it an 8 out of 10 performance wise.
