agree with Stringreen....if possible I would use the original manufacturer for all the servicing....the re-tip is just that....new tip.
does a stylus retip makea cartridge as good as new
I notice quite a few cartridges being offered on Agon with stylus retips and claims that the cartridge is as good as new- or better! I thought cartridges deteriorated with age due to oxidation regardless of tip wear. I seem to remember Michael Fremer in Stereophile giving a life of about 5 years. Am I wrong?
