My Cartridge needs a new Stylus


Hi Guys, I need to get my stylus replaced on my Supex cartridge and have a question. At this time the cartridge has a Boron Pipe cantilever, The company I decided to do the rebuild, I read good things about, they cannot do the Boron Pipe but can do an aluminum or a sapphire cantilever. My question is, does anyone know if there would be any or what the difference would be in the sound between the cantilevers.

Thank you Swampwalker, I am asking to see if it would be worth the extra money between the aluminum and the sapphire. I am not in a hurry so I will wait for a while and see if anyone had any experience with what I asked.
Thanks Again

Thank you Nandric,
      That is what I was looking for, to see if it was possible to use my existing Boron pipe. I looked at the tip of the cantilever with a stylus scope and it looks good to me but I am not an expert. After all the years I had the cartridge it was time for a rebuild anyway.

Thank you Fleib, I am going to ask about using my Boron pipe. I have owned many cartridges in my time and I just got lucky with this Supex, cartridges that cost 3 and 4 times as much. Just so you know the Supex line was made by Sumiko.  Nandric had mentioned to check your thread on cantilevers but I cannot find it, is there any way you can put in a link so I can read it, I would be interested.
