@needlestein This is great information, thank you. For retipping I’ve used both Andy Kim and Soundsmith and have been pleased with both, the former having a quicker TAT. TBH, I’ve never really thought about how and where they source their cantilevers and diamonds. I am also okay with having a "Frankenstein" non original cart as long as it sounds great and tracks well, which has been the case every time with a retip or "recantilever". I retipped my previous Delos with Soundsmith using their TOTL retip option, and the Delos was returned to me and worked flawlessly. Edit: Speaking of Gyger, I am currently using a Stanton 980 LZS with a stylus retipped with Gyger S. Sounds absolutely fantastic and tracks like a beast!

@rauliruegas Yes! In fact, it was @needlestein Jesph Long that retipped this Stanton stylus (sent by the previous owner I believe). Didn't put 2 and 2 totgether. Thanks Joseph, this D98 Gyger retipped stylus is perfect for this Stanton 980. I also have the original D98 Stereohedron and I swear the Gyger is better at the inner grooves for treble extension and utter lack of any IGD traces. |
