Soundsmith's turnaround time?

I used Peter's service about 4 years ago. Excellent results, BTW. It took maybe 6 weeks. Since then it seems his work load has exploded. Not fun waiting, I know. Reminds me of the great restaurant that everyone loves, so it takes 1 1/2 hours to get seated.

Thanks Raul. I did know about VdH. But then there is that added shipping cost, etc. ;-) Fortunately, I don't need such service as often as you most likely do since I only have 3 carts, so a few weeks doesn't matter to me.

To each his own. If you have no plans to change cartridges and want to get your cartridge fixed respectfully and for a great price, Soundsmith is an excellent service. You will still hear the characteristics of the cartridge and you just may even like what you hear even more. After all, that is what matters most. How YOU like it.

Well said, l2red! Tknif, Peter fixed my XV1s a few years back. Please post back on your thoughts of how it performs and how you think it has changed. TIA

Thanks Tjnif. Ok, Ebm. I'll bite. What's a real company, in your opinion?

Ebm, does Profundo do cartridge repairs? I don't see any mention of that service on their website? Could it be that you are trading in your cartridge for a rebuilt one? There is nothing wrong with that, most cartridge makers work that way. However, if there is another cartridge repair service of excellent quality available it would be good to know. It appears from the website that they only carry one cartridge.

Now you have me bewildered. Perhaps there is a language barrier at play?

4/18

I always get my cartdridge retip Transfiguration Orpheus through

4/19

I only upgrade my cardridge when its time no retip

Don't forget, Raul, I'm a mere 250 miles from Soundsmith. :-)

No_regrets,

Something is blocking the website. There seems to be wide-spread network issues since that McAfee fiasco. Then again, the Chinese Red Army may be playing wargames again. :-)

But, I got into a page from the website and found this at the bottom.
