New cartridge vs. Re-tipped


What I am trying to ask is, what are the down sides, if any, to buying a re-tipped cartridge as opposed to a brand new cartridge. Do you get less hours with a re-tipped, a completely different sound? Is tracking ability compromised?

Thanks

Hi everyone, can somebody here please remind me of the Asian gentleman I think in Washington state that rebuilds/retips cartridges? I have an old Denon 103 that needs work.

many thanks!
