I can't get a wood bodied Benz anymore

I talked to the distributor and he isn't getting this cartridge anymore. What cartridge would be the closest to this cartridge. I talked to a couple of dealers but I got the Impression they were trying trying to sell what they had. I would like your unbiased opinion. Thank you.

If you get it retipped, and by this I mean have the stylus replaced, as Drrsutliff states above, it should not have a change to the sound assuming you use the same stylus profile.

If you change the cantilever to a different material and replace both the stylus and cantilever then it would have an effect on the sound.

Soundsmith usually turns around items in 6 - 8 weeks. You shoudl ask them directly. I have never heard of or had them take 6 - 8 months to repair an item.
