If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone


Else retip it. From my understanding with the distributor Benz is about 12 to 18 months behind on retipping. Would you let someone in the United States retip it for you. The dealer and the distributor both say it won't sound the same If Benz doesn't retip it. But who wants to wait all that time for a retip. Who in the states has retipped you're Benz cartridge that you have been happy with?

About 14 years ago I had my ruby re-tipped by Van Den Hul. I had this done because I liked the sound of Van Den Hul stylii. The results were as I hoped, and I have never regretted my decision. The cartridge does sound different since the re-tip, but that is what I wanted. At that time Van Den Hul wanted 600 dollars for a re-tip, I think. It was about half of what Benz charged. The turnaround time was not too bad, about 6 weeks, but that was then.
