Guess I wasn't all that clear or perhaps I just assumed anyone on this thread would understand one cannot retip a cantilever if one has no cantilever. Point being, with a change in cantilever the cartridge did not quite measure up to the original Clavis.
Didn't send it back to Lyra because they advised, while they do repairs on their higher priced cartridges, they do not repair the Clavis. I suppose it's a cost issue. Replacing the cantilever is practically a rebuild of the whole cartridge which is not cost effective for what was then a $1500 cartridge. This is unlike Soundsmith who I understand just glues a new cantilever to the stub of the old cantilever.
