I had SoundSmith do a "re-tip only" on my Benz LP and I think it sounds the same as it did prior to the retipping, just with a whole lot better tracking since the stylus tip is no longer worn. The retipping didn't take all that long, maybe 6 weeks or so, and was within the time frame quoted by SS.
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.
