I have used a few retippers over the years. My choice is for those who will do a diamond only replacement. The companies I use are The Expert Stylus Company and AllClear Audio. AllClear has done excellent work for me. Expert has a stellar reputation and long history of doing top rate work. Folks say Joseph Long is a great resource also.

@jcarr Would you be kind enough to share with us what wears out on a cartridge besides the diamond? I imagine the damper and those types of materials would. What about the tensioning mechanism or the yoke assembly? When does this wear typically show up in relation to hours of use?
With Lyra retipped cartridges the internals are all disposed of then when a cartridge is refurbished for a customer?
Thanks for any info you would be able to pass on. |
@jcarr Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and experiences with us. I do not know about others, but I appreciate understanding the challenges and issues a cartridge manufacturer goes through to bring a product to market and take care of their customer base. Your insights give us a glimpse of all the facets our analog rigs go through to bring us music. Once again, thank you. |
