Andy Chongs retipping service Bellvue Wa


I talked to Andy last week and he seemed like a nice guy but I haven't heard much about his work. I did talk to Soundsmith
a couple of weeks ago and there telling me it takes 3 months
to get back at cartridge from them. They also want to charge me 115.00 more than Andy. I'm not looking for the cheapest deal. I want the best work in a timely manner. Andy's telling me a 3 week turnaround. Before I send him my 1500.00 cartridge I would like to hear some comments about him pro or con.

Anyone know if Andy does cantilever replacement with something like a ruby, like Soundsmith?"

No!

It's best to email him for an answer to your particular situation.

Got my Ortofon MC70 back from Andy with a 2 week turnaround time. He replaced the suspension and hyper cleaned the FG70 stylus. I'm very pleased with the results Andy get's my highest recommendation.

Good Listening

I just sent off a Benz Micro Ruby 3H OA to Andy on the recommendations both here and other audio websites to straighten a misaligned cantilever and replace the suspension if needed. He quoted me a two week turn around time and a damn good price for the service!

A Google Map search of his shipping address shows a home in a residential area. I wonder if he works out of his home?

I just received my stylus's back, 7/8/2013. Fast service, great prices and I'm very happy with the results.

I just sent Andy a Shure V15VMR. I can't wait to get it back and give it a twirl.

Hi Taters

Try sending a message to A'gon member Viridian. He has suggested Andy's work very recently and I believe has had a few carts re-tipped by him. I've PMed Viridian in the past and he has always been helpful and receptive to various questions tube wise or turntable wise.
Andy did a great job fixing the sagging suspension on my Shelter 901. He has also re-tipped (stylus replacement only) two Koetsu cartridges for a friend who was happy with his work. Highly recommended.
