Dear @kjim : I was owner of the AC3 and inside your budget I will go for it. Very good quality performer.
Send it to Joseph Long to change only the stylus, this is the way to go with.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Accuphase AC-3 Re-tip new cantilever vs new purchase?
I was looking at a used Accuphase and sending it out for a new stylus and cantilever.
I wonder if this is a good use of 2k or if I should be looking for a new cartridge in the same price range that would provide the same quality.
Does anyone have experience with the Accuphase AC-3? Or an opinion about its quality compared to new products on the market?
Thanks for the advice.
