Axel Schurholz in Germany repaired my Technics EPC-100c mk3, new boron cantilever is no problem for him if you don’t mind boron rod instead of boron pipe. He use Nagaoka boron cantilevers as far as i know.
Look at this picture of the new elliptical tip on boron cantilever of my Technics EPC-100CMK3 (retipped by Axel). Sounds great!
I’ve owned two cartridges with sapphire cantilevers: ADC Astrion (i wasn’t impressed at all) and Argent MC500HS (high output MC which i like a lot!).
Nothing wrong with alluminum cantilevers if the nude well polished diamond pressure fitted like this Denon 107 i have sent to a friend.
It’s all about the balance, not the material used in cantilever alone. You can lose the magic of your cartridge replacing cantilever from alluminum to boron or sapphire. Some of the vintage cartridges with alluminum cantilevers sounds amazing in original form.
