I have heard really good things about VAS Audio. I just sent my Dynavector DRT-XV1T for a new cantilever and tip just last week. Waiting to hear back on cost. This damaged cartridge was a gift so I am not to blame.
Any experience with Sound Smith repairing stylus on non-Sound Smith cartridges?
I was reaching across my Rega P8 turntable with Linn Krystal cartridge (four months old with 250 hours), and the back of my finger hit the stylus, and severely bent / broke the stylus and cantilever, as the stylus is now pointing straight down,and the tip is facing backwards (instead of down). I was probably going to send the Linn cartridge to Sound Smith for repair. Has anyone had experience with their various stylus repair options for Linn (or other non-Sound Smith) cartridges?
Thanks.
