Retip only without any work on the suspension or elastomer then no mechanical break in should be required or noted. If it is retipped (actually rebuilt) by completely replacing all the internals like Ortofon will do then the new internals and suspension parts will require some time to settle in...
Break in for a retip?
Hello all,
Lots of conflicting information out there about whether or not a retipped stylus needs a break in. Some people on audio forums say that the stone needs polishing; others say that the stylus doesn't break in at all- it's the suspension. And others say that retipping itself is pointless.
Is there anyone here who can provide a definitive answer?
And yes, I did just receive my retipped Hana SH.
