The Needle Doctor will send you a new Platinum for $240 with your old one as a trade in. They don't re-tip Grado's,they replace them. If you liked the Platinum you should stick with it. BTW I don't think the Sonata is overkill but if you think the extra $160 is worth it by all means go for it!
Grado cartridge for vintage setup?
Hello,
I'm in the market for a new cartridge (or replacement stylus). I'll likely stick with a Grado as I can get my Platinum re-tipped. However, I'm curious if upgrading to Sonata might be worth it ($240 for Platinum retip vs $400 Sonata retip)?
My setup:
Revolver 'table and tonearm
NAD 1020 Preamp
NAD 2140 Power Amp
JBL 18Ti speakers
In your opinions, is the Sonata overkill for my setup?
Thank you!
